This document summarizes a retail channel intelligence solution that provides retailers with automated data collection, normalization, and actionable sales and stock information within minutes rather than the weeks it typically takes. The solution aims to help retailers reduce losses from being out of stock and improve sales and exhibitions. It has the potential to increase sales by 16% and reduce $3 million in losses for one retailer in just one month. The founders are seeking $400,000 in funding to expand the product and commercial operations.
