The Genesis of Connecting Commerce Intelligence

0 Comments
DynamicAction has joined EDITED, and our collective solutions create an inflection point for retail

We started DynamicAction with a mission to enable brands and retailers to operate in real-time, utilizing rich, insight-driven applications to run their businesses with a keen eye for delivering profit.

We envisioned direct to consumer retailing powered by a continuous stream of insight. This insight would enable operating teams to accelerate and automate product placement, deliver customer marketing at scale, take pricing and promotional actions all the way to the sku level, immediately initiate reorders, and drive seasonal retail assortments with owned and drop-shipped products.

We are extremely excited as we believe connecting commerce intelligence will create transformative value for brands and retailers, and represents a step change in how retail will operate going forward.

Seasoned retailers acknowledge that every retail business and brand is built upon a cobbled together foundation of disparate systems and processes, and overly dependent on gut and instinct. 

For too long, brands and retailers have relied on people to evaluate the competition in the market, and on spreadsheets as the backbone of their business intelligence. The design and product teams run their own systems completely independently, with no day-to-day integration of insight between teams running the business. These disconnects create an overwhelming imbalance between inbound product, inventory, allocation, local assortment, price and promo, store and site placement, customer marketing, and logistics. 

When retailers are stocking up and selling products without an integrated flow of data and insight across their entire product lifecycle, products sit on the wrong shelves and in the wrong warehouses, get sold at the wrong price, absorb too many promotional dollars, and are unavailable to full price shoppers. As a result, the entire retail lifecycle is plagued by a significant loss of potential revenue and, even more painful, forfeited gross margin. 

Every day retailers share with us their struggles to efficiently and effectively incorporate the full scope of market and business data into profitably running and growing their businesses. They are bogged down in the rudimentary tasks of gathering market data on competitors, compiling complete and up-to-date product sales data, and pulling together assortment visualizations in the market. This time and resource intensive data analysis severely impacts their ability to make profitable decisions and remain competitive in our quickly evolving retail landscape. 

We’re witnessing a significant reboot in retail, where the most successful retailers are employing speed, agility, and flexibility as the keys to a successful future. This dovetails with our original vision and our continued commitment and passion to equip our retail and direct to consumer brands and retailers with continuous insight across their businesses and the market.
