Retail Industry

Inventory loss is a constant problem for both brick and mortar stores and online eCommerce. BI and data warehousing solutions empower retail companies to track their inventory stocks more closely and reduce their business losses.

Pharmaceutical Industry

One of the major issues interrupting the global pharmaceutical industry is the lack of non-compliance to health regulations due to the distribution of expired medicines along with managing product patents. BI tools allow pharma companies to minimize the distribution of products (with expired dates). In addition, this technology is reforming traditional patent laws and improving the rate of new drug development.

Fashion Industry

The fashion industry heavily counts on BI and other data-powered technologies to figure out customer needs and gain a competitive edge. BI-driven insights enable fashion companies to target the right fashion clothing to their consumers. In addition, fashion companies can discover global trends in the fashion industry and determine the right business goals.
