We make it easier to work with Target.

Twenty years ago, Lumidata created the first generation of its SOLYS POS analytics software for retail teams selling into Target. Generations later, SOLYS is a powerful reporting solution not only approved by Target, but preferred by Target’s top vendors.

 

Stay on top of every new Target metric and measurement.

You have massive amounts of Target data and increasingly complex business decisions to solve using this data. If you’re not using SOLYS, you may often find that you lack the insights to bridge data to business 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.

The SOLYS POS analytics solution is a true decision intelligence tool to help you bridge the gap between Target 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. And it's the preferred solution for Target suppliers. Here's why:

SOLYS is tri-lingual, it speaks Target's language, your company’s language, and your retail team's language.

SOLYS is designed to quickly reflect Target's new business priorities, operational changes and metrics as they occur.

Sales, inventory and purchase order data are imported, cleansed and integrated into a single platform for a 360-degree view of business.

Scheduled reports automatically arrive in your inbox first thing Monday morning to get insights in real time to make a real difference.

Customized reporting lets you build and save  reports using both Vendor IQ and proprietary SOLYS-calculated metrics.

Pre-built, curated dashboards and canned reports help you dig deeper into your business to get actionable insights and answers.

Unlimited item attribution lets 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.
