Today’s retailers operate in a hyper-competitive environment shaped by shifting consumer preferences, expanding product choices, and rising service expectations. To stay relevant and profitable, they need to respond quickly to real-time conditions on the ground.  

 

However, that’s easier to say than to accomplish. Managing performance across thousands of stores, distributors, and salespersons can quickly become overwhelming without the right tools in place. 

 

The reality?
Many retail operations still depend on manual reporting, fragmented systems, and static dashboards that deliver insights too late to act on. By the time a stockout or sales drop is detected, the opportunity has already passed.
 

 

To overcome this, more retail leaders are investing in smarter technologies. 
 

In fact, 68% of retail IT decision-makers surveyed by Coresight Research in 2022 said they plan to increase their technology investments over the next three years. At the core of these investments are retail performance dashboards, a powerful tool that converts scattered retail data into real-time, actionable insights. 

What Is a Retail Dashboard?

A retail dashboard is a visual tool that displays key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics for a retail business, providing a real-time snapshot of its performance. It brings together data from different sources like sales, inventory, and customer behavior and presents it in easy-to-understand formats such as charts and graphs. This helps retailers quickly spot trends, make informed decisions, and improve day-to-day operations. 

1. OutletPulse 

OutletPulse give brands real-time clarity on how each outlet is performing based on total sales, brand share, and SKU movement. It flags early signs of decline and pinpoints causes, whether it’s a specific SKU, brand, stockiest, or new outlet, so the sales team knows exactly where to focus.
 

The insights reveal not just what’s happening, but why, driving quicker and more precise actions.  

It also breaks down outlet performance by region, state, and pin code, showing if an area is in high growth, growth, high de-growth, de-growth, or consistently growing.
 

 By combining machine learning with outlet classification and visual insights, OutletPulse turns raw sales data into precise, timely actions, ensuring focus on the right outlets, at the right time. 

What OutletPulse Brings to Your Retail Strategy: 

  • Allows deep dives into specific outlets to identify success drivers or issues 
  • Detects at-risk outlets before revenue drops significantly 
  • Analyzes de-growth patterns at brand and outlet levels 
  • Identifies fill rate and coverage gaps for targeted interventions 
  • Helps field teams prioritize outlets with the highest growth potential 

 
With OutletPulse, your brand gains actionable insights to make better decisions, focus on field efforts effectively, and boost retail growth through targeted, data-driven execution. 

2. Fraudulent Distributor Analyzer 

Fraudulent Sales Analyzer is a machine learning-powered solution that helps businesses detect suspicious distributor behavior early—before it impacts sales performance.  

It analyzes transactional data such as sales, returns, and scheme payouts to uncover unusual patterns using advanced techniques. The system also segments distributors by retailer channel, enabling accurate, fair comparisons and smarter detection of irregularities over recent months.

With Fraudulent Distributor Analyzer, you gain the power to prevent misuse, enforce compliance, and protect the integrity of your performance-linked investments before financial leakage occurs.

5. Target disaggregation  

Target Disaggregation solves the challenge of translating goals into clear, actionable targets at every level, from managers down to every outlet. By automating this process, it ensures alignment across the sales hierarchy and adapts targets dynamically based on real-time data. The system supports a seamless flow of targets through roles such as Regional Sales Manager and Field Manager, empowering teams with control and flexibility. 

What Target Disaggregation Brings to Your Sales Planning: 

  • Simulates and adjusts targets at every level for better accuracy 
  • Shows real-time surplus or deficit while editing targets 
  • Enables freezing or unfreezing targets with complete control 
  • Provides a transparent top-down flow of goals across the organization 
  • Aligns market realities with achievable objectives 
  • Facilitates better accountability and ownership at each level 

When targets aren’t clearly broken down, field teams get confused, work unevenly, and miss key goals. Target Disaggregation fixes this by splitting overall targets into simple, fair goals for the sales team — based on real data. This helps everyone stay aligned, work smarter, and hit their numbers more consistently.
