The Challenge: Gaining Visibility into POS Data
With a diverse retail network spanning major home improvement retailers and e-commerce platforms, Bosch Power Tools struggled to consolidate POS data in a way that provided clear and actionable insights. The company’s sales and commercial teams spent significant time manually pulling reports, reconciling data from different sources, and trying to identify sales trends.
“We had the data, but we lacked the tools to efficiently extract insights from it,” says Matt Bergum, Director of Sales Excellence at Bosch North America. “This was impacting our ability to respond quickly to changes in demand and optimize our retail execution.”
The Solution: Alloy.ai’s Advanced POS Data Analytics
Bosch turned to Alloy.ai to streamline its data aggregation and analysis. The platform provided real-time access to POS data from multiple retailers, automated reporting, and advanced analytics that empowered Bosch’s sales teams to make faster, more informed decisions — and have better data-informed conversations with retailers.
“Alloy.ai gave us a single source of truth for our sales data, which has been a game changer,” says Bergum. “Instead of spending hours pulling reports, our teams now have instant access to the insights they need to take action.”
