Enterprise CPG operational intelligence. Not templates.

Unolabs engineers enterprise CPG operational intelligence ecosystems for modern commerce transformation. We move beyond dashboard accelerators to build governed demand forecasting systems, retailer analytics frameworks, pricing intelligence architectures, and supply chain observability platforms that enable faster operational decisions across the full CPG value chain.

CPG Transformation Failure

Why CPG transformation initiatives fail

Fragmented Retailer Intelligence

Disconnected retailer data systems that prevent unified sell-through, distribution, and inventory visibility across channels and geographies.

Disconnected Supply Chain Systems

Siloed supply and demand planning environments that operate without shared context, causing chronic forecast misalignment and inventory inefficiency.

Inconsistent Demand Forecasting

Fragmented forecasting models built in isolation prevent consensus forecasting and degrade operational responsiveness at scale.

Siloed Commerce Analytics

Disconnected category, channel, and trade analytics that prevent a unified view of pricing performance, promotion ROI, and margin optimization.

Poor Operational Visibility

Absence of real-time operational cockpits means CPG leadership makes decisions on stale, aggregated reporting rather than live commerce intelligence.

Weak Governance and Standardization

Without governed data definitions and standardized KPI taxonomies, commercial teams report conflicting numbers and waste cycles reconciling truth.

Strategic Impact

Business Outcomes

Demand Signals Are Scattered

POS, ecommerce, distributor, promotion, weather, inventory, and shipment data live in different systems with different grains.

Promotion Blindness

Teams cannot connect campaigns, pricing, stockouts, cannibalization, and sell-through fast enough to adjust.

Slow Custom Modelling

Every CPG analytics build recreates product, customer, channel, geography, and time models from scratch.

Data Architecture Design

How the systems, controls, and outputs talk to each other

Each service page includes a visible architecture view. It shows where data enters, how Unolabs treats it, which controls are applied, and where the final asset is consumed.

Our Approach

How the work is engineered

01

Domain Model Fit

We map your product, customer, channel, store, distributor, promotion, and inventory entities to governed, reusable CPG intelligence templates.

02

Signal Integration

We combine POS, ERP, ecommerce, syndicated, warehouse, and external signals into standardized intelligence layers powered by Snowflake, Databricks, and SAP.

03

Demand and Supply Views

We publish forecast-ready features, stockout indicators, service level metrics, and replenishment signals for demand planners and supply teams.

04

Promotion Intelligence

We connect campaign calendars, pricing, volume, margin, lift, cannibalization, and inventory outcomes into a single promotion observability framework.

05

Semantic BI Layer

We define governed measures for sell-in, sell-out, gross margin, availability, velocity, and forecast accuracy across Power BI and Tableau environments.

06

Operational KPI Governance

We establish standardized KPI taxonomies and data stewardship models that eliminate conflicting commercial reporting across functions.

Strategic Assessment

Enterprise CPG Intelligence Maturity Model

Where does your organization sit on the path to autonomous operations? Use this model to identify your current stage and the critical engineering gaps preventing progression.

Level 1

Fragmented commerce reporting

Isolated, manually assembled sales and supply reports with no unified commerce intelligence or standardized data definitions.

Level 2

Department-level retail analytics

Category and channel analytics exist but remain siloed, with limited cross-domain demand or supply visibility.

Level 3

Governed enterprise CPG intelligence

Standardized demand, supply, and pricing models with governed KPI taxonomy and cross-functional operational visibility.

Level 4

Real-time operational commerce visibility

Live inventory, promotion, and demand signals power operational decisions across planners, category managers, and supply teams.

Level 5

Autonomous commerce intelligence ecosystems

Agentic supply chain orchestration and self-optimizing commerce intelligence that adapts to real-time market and demand signals.

In Depth

What this means in practice

Templates Preserve Industry Logic

The CPG intelligence model includes industry-specific grains and relationships so teams do not waste months debating basic domain structures or KPI definitions.

From Reporting to Orchestration

The same governed data products power dashboards, promotion alerts, consensus forecast models, and agentic supply chain orchestration workflows.

Reusable Across Brands

Once the CPG intelligence architecture is established, new markets, brands, categories, and retail channels onboard through configuration rather than custom builds.

Dynamic Data Flow

CPG and Retail Data Flow

The CPG intelligence flow shows how commercial, operational, and external signals converge into governed demand, supply, and pricing intelligence ecosystems.
