What it is

SPS Analytics is a cloud, web-based Decision Intelligence platform from SPS Analytics in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It connects retail sales, inventory, and item-performance data for supplier decisions. SKU- and location-level sales across retailers and channels are linked with sell-through and inventory information to support forecasting, replenishment, and allocation. Users can monitor days of supply, distribution gaps, and performance changes while working to rebalance inventory, reduce excess stock, prevent stockouts, and avoid markdowns. SPS retrieves, validates, and standardizes data from trading partners, then matches enriched performance data to a supplier’s catalog. Results can appear in dashboards, scheduled reports, files, or cloud integrations with business-intelligence and planning systems. Customers using Snowflake or Databricks can receive validated retail data in those environments. Refreshes are daily where retailers provide daily data and weekly for many others; store-level and margin visibility depend on available data. Implementation varies by data sources and scope, with structured onboarding. Pricing is on request.
