1010data announced the introduction of the 1010data Retail Vendor Portal, the company’s latest innovation in data sharing and data discovery for Big Data. The 1010data Retail Vendor Portal is a cloud-based portal that enables retailers to share their proprietary data– including point of sale (POS), inventory, loyalty and more – with their supplier partners (vendors). The new portal allows a retailer's vendors to work with and analyze the same data the retailer does in order to collaborate on mutual business goals.
“We are always looking for ways to share data and foster a consultative partnership with our vendors in order to collaborate on new programs and merchandising strategies,” said Richard Angelillo, A&P Head of IT Strategy & Delivery. “By leveraging the 1010data Retail Vendor Portal we can now store, share and allow our vendors to analyze data using a common platform -- ultimately allowing us to better serve our customers.”
“Data analysis and sharing have long played an important role in retail; however, until now, the results have been limited by the constraints and unnecessary costs of traditional technology approaches,” said Sandy Steier, CEO of 1010data. “Moreover, vendors previously had to work with summarized and aggregated data that took days, if not weeks, to assemble and analyze. The 1010data Retail Vendor Portal provides retailers with the ability to share current, granular data that yields insights within minutes. Using 1010data retailers and vendors can keep up with the fast pace of changing customer trends and make relevant decisions that enhance profitability.”

The 1010data Retail Vendor Portal allows retailers to manage, analyze and share their data with vendors via the cloud.

Vendors can also leverage 1010data’s Trillion Row Spreadsheet for data discovery and answers to all of their ad-hoc questions.
The 1010data Retail Vendor Portal program is a turnkey program that includes full training, ongoing education and marketing for the portal.
