Retail & CPG
Unolabs engineers the demand-response operating systems for retail and CPG enterprises. We unify fragmented customer, product, store, and supply signals into governed data products that power real-time merchandising, forecasting, and autonomous inventory rebalancing.
For global retailers, FMCG groups, food and beverage manufacturers, and omnichannel commerce leaders.
Engineering specialised data zones and autonomous processing layers for Retail & CPG leaders.
Trade spend is your second-largest line item
Promo ROI is still argued from three versions of the truth: syndicated data, retailer portals, and internal sell-out. Meanwhile OTIF penalties and retailer scorecards punish every forecast miss, and shrink quietly erodes whatever the promo calendar earned. We build the governed sell-in/sell-out spine that ends the reconciliation argument.
Architectural Bottlenecks Hindering Retail & CPG Transformation
Fragmented Commercial Estates: Customer, product, and store signals are siloed across ERP, POS, and e-commerce feeds, preventing a single sell-through view across DCs, banners, and retailer portals.
Operational Latency: Demand planners cannot connect promotion activity, inventory movement, and channel response fast enough to prevent stockouts, OTIF penalties, or trade-spend leakage.
Technical Debt Gravity: Legacy BW systems and static reporting silos slow decision-making across global plants and regions, hindering autonomous inventory rebalancing.
