Retailers, whether food, non-food or mass merchandisers want to quickly identify revenue and profit opportunities. To achieve this they need specific information like merchandise intelligence (merchandise planning, assortment, size, space, price, promotion, and markdown optimization) and customer intelligence (demographics, market basket analysis).

Traditional Data warehousing (DW) and Business Intelligence (BI) systems are built as generic platform solutions. Retail IT teams need to identify the right tool sets relevant for their organisation, and then stitch them together to meet the analytic requirements of their business managers. This process typically takes 12-18 months and involves managing a host of stakeholders - tool vendors, SI partners, consultants, internal IT, business users and senior management.

ARC's retail specific DW-BI architecture dramatically reduces deployment time, managerial overhead and total cost of ownership, by fundamentally changing the way retailers deploy and maintain their BI infrastructure.
