12 easily accessible retail data attributes that drive fast, powerful, and integrated data visualizations leveraging Salesforce

August 8, 2023

As a senior retail executive, how often are you asked to deliver a performance report for a specific category or store? Assuming your organization has a data platform in place, it’s likely that you can pull together the information needed to answer basic questions. But are you providing the context and analysis leaders need to take action?

 For example, can you quickly prepare a report that includes information and visualizations comparing category and subcategory performance and profitability? Can you quickly determine if a store in question is underperforming compared to other stores in the same region, and if so, what sales trends might influence these numbers?

 To be truly helpful, retail executives don’t just need to provide answers; they need to anticipate the questions that will deliver a deeper level of insight to help fuel effective strategies, decision-making, and action.

Traditionally, gathering and analyzing data across several cross sections, including sales trends, profit analysis, and operations, and quickly and accurately drilling down into different categories, subcategories, stores, or geographies required a high level of data maturity. But now, thanks to the advanced capabilities of the Salesforce platform and Tableau, enabling complete visibility into your data environment may not be as complex, time-consuming, or costly as it once was.

 This new accelerator for the Retail Analytics Hub from Globant relies on just twelve clear data attributes enabling organizations to develop the insights they need to improve operations, enhance decision-making and drive customer experience and performance.
