We delivered a greenfield cloud-first enterprise analytics platform for Ares, unifying data from online and physical operations to support near-real-time reporting.
Retail
Retail margin is thin. Data-driven decisions are where it's recovered.
Retail businesses operate at the intersection of inventory, pricing, logistics, and customer behaviour — all of which generate data constantly. The organisations that connect and act on that data faster than their competitors are the ones that protect margin and grow share.

The challenges
Where retail data erodes margin
Inventory visibility across channels
Without a unified view of stock across stores, warehouses, and online channels, retailers either overstock and write off margin or understock and lose sales — both are expensive.
Our response
Unified inventory analytics connecting every stock location into a single view that supports smarter replenishment decisions.
Sales data that arrives too late
Daily or weekly sales reporting means markdown and replenishment decisions are based on data that's already stale — especially critical for perishables and seasonal lines.
Our response
Near-real-time sales and stock reporting that gives buying and operations teams the data to act within the trading day.
Customer behaviour that stays hidden
Transaction data, loyalty programmes, and returns data sit in separate systems — making it difficult to understand what customers actually want and where they're defecting.
Our response
Integrated customer analytics that connect transaction, loyalty, and returns data into a single view of customer behaviour.
