This day should be your most productive day of the week.
We've been making Mondays better for retailers and suppliers for more than 20 years. We created the first generation of SOLYS for manufacturers selling into Target. Today, that tool is not only a Target-authorized analytics solution, but over time, we have iterated retailer-specific SOLYS solutions that have helped consumer goods companies and rep groups greatly improve overall performance and nurture long term relationships with retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Kohls, Best Buy, Meijer, and more.
Bridging the gap
Because businesses today have massive amounts of data and increasingly complex business decisions to solve with this data, they often lack insights to bridge data to decisions. Many times that’s because today’s tools, processes, and teams are siloed with different types of analytics. Time-consuming handoffs and insights gaps mean inefficiency, missed opportunities, and increased business risk.
Lumidata’s SOLYS POS analytics solution has become a true decision intelligence tool to help you bridge the gap between retailer demand data and your daily and weekly business decisions and S&OP planning,
A brilliant solution
There’s a real difference between smart and brilliant. There are a lot of smart solutions out there, but SOLYS, as its name suggests, is truly brilliant. SOLYS is recognized as the brightest and most powerful suite of best-practices POS data analytics in the consumer goods industry. Unlike other solutions, SOLYS gives you:
Sales, inventory and purchase order data ready to use first thing Monday morning.
Automated reporting enables you to quickly share information and insights in real time to make a real difference.
Ad-hoc reporting lets you build and save custom reports from 5500+ metrics.
Pre-built, curated dashboards and canned reports help you dig deeper into your business.
Unlimited item attributes let you organize and analyze based on the way you view your business.
What people are saying
I feel the purchase of SOLYS was cost justified in the first two months based on the ability to make better business decisions in the planogram and line review process. It gives me credibility in knowing my business. It satisfies external, as well as internal team state of the business reviews.

SOLYS speaks the retailer’s language and ours. It allows us to review our performance and present our findings to the retailer in the retailer’s language - their timeframes, their segments and categories. And, it allows us to do the same in our own internal language. It is far superior to any other POS software. As a result, the improvement that we have seen on fill rates and in-stocks, and our ability to deploy product to the right servicing distribution center last year alone drove 2.6 million dollars in incremental volume.

We were able to identify a $500,000 lost sales opportunity due to very low in-stocks during our promotional periods – the result of an ordering error on our retailer’s part. We presented the data to our retailer and they immediately corrected their error. As a result, we experienced a higher volume of sales on subsequent promotions.

During the first six months of implementing SOLYS, we incremented our sales by $7 million. We attribute this dramatic increase directly to our use of SOLYS.

We picked up access to category data for a category in which we had very little business based on the value that we were adding in our other categories.

In preparation for a top-to-top meeting with our retailer, we were able to pull all of the supporting data and documentation in just a few hours, where it previously would have taken the better part of a day.
Category Manager
Food and Beverage
I work on 8 categories and have 4 captaincies. SOLYS keeps the focus on insights, and gives me the ability to bring recommendations to my buyers. Our category management is easily 2 years ahead of our competitors because of SOLYS.
