Atheon Analytics inks Co-op SKUtrak deal

Atheon Analytics and Co-op have announced a multi-year grocery supply chain collaboration, following a pilot programme.

The retailer will be using SKUtrak to identify service issues, understand stock positions and quantify the impact on availability, waste and sales. The solution operates on a “freemium” business model; a free-for-life visual reporting suite covering the last 28 days (and, later this year, upcoming forecasts), and an optional suite of premium analytical tools spanning two years of trading on a paid-for basis. As of today, all Co-op suppliers are able to utilise free SKUtrak dashboards to monitor daily service level, availability and sales.

“We are sharing our supplier flow-of-goods data, so that we can work better together for customers,” says Richard Ablitt, Head of Supply Chain at Co-op. “Feedback from pilot suppliers has been very positive and we expect to see a significant number using the service within just a few months. The launch service will be impressive in scope, and we are collaborating with Atheon Analytics to use SKUtrak for forecast sharing from October.”
