Planning for and meeting demand in the face of a natural disaster is nothing new for many Grocery, Drug and Mass retailers or their CPG partners. However, the largely unexpected impact of COVID-19 and its global ramifications have drastically altered consumer behavior and purchasing patterns.

The past decade has shown immense disruption in the global retail industry. This has forced retailers to fundamentally shift their business and technology strategy and re-focus to stay relevant and competitive in a rapidly-changing marketplace. Few factors have undergone more dramatic change than the importance of data to a retailer’s success. To be sure, the explosive growth in retail data can be a curse for retailers. But, if managed and analyzed properly, data can also be a blessing – a strong competitive advantage for retailers looking to grow and win in a radically changed retail environment. Today, retailers already collect massive amounts of data on a store and item level every day. However, the
challenge remains how to turn those huge volumes of data into the knowledge and critical insights that can be activated and executed on, from the supply chain to the store shelf.

Building applications isn’t done in a silo anymore. Today, software development involves more assembly of outside data and services, and that often requires coding interfaces, data access, transformation, file processing, cloud integration and/or data quality routines.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. A platform-based approach to data integration can help teams save on precious development resources while speeding their offerings to the public.
