Manthan Systems Launches Mobile Analytics Apps For Retail

Manthan Systems, the global leader in business intelligence (BI) for retailers, announced successful implementations of ARC Mobile, a retail analytics solution that provides retailers access to critical operations, merchandising, marketing and financial insights from any location. This mobile application is deployed at several US-based retail chains in the fashion, grocery and convenience store segments. With ARC Mobile, retailers get the insights they need on-demand, including real-time answers to all performance-based inquiries, at their fingertips.

ARC Mobile provides the full breadth of ARC Merchandise Analytics on a tablet device, from interactive data visualisations and exception alerts through collaborative markups and annotations. Role-based, customisable dashboards and analytical views are available on any tablet device, whether iOS or Android-based, in both online and offline modes, allowing users to access business insights anytime and anywhere. Away from his or her desk, an ARC Mobile user can identify, in real-time, key areas requiring attention, with dynamic dashboards supporting by visualisation capabilities such as bar charts, line charts, Bubble Charts, Waterfall Charts and product images. More importantly, this user can insert comments and feedback on the mobile dashboard and share his or her notes with peers to facilitate collaborative decision-making.

Manthan’s mobile analytics application was designed for mobile retail employees, such as regional managers, or for executives that prefer to consume data and insights via handheld devices. However, the company has observed a wider adoption of the mobile analytics application outside of the typical users. Use cases for ARC Mobile have emerged in the additional departments of the retail organisation, including merchandising and marketing, to support store visits and business performance reviews.

“We have seen our customers use ARC Mobile to forge connections across departmental structures,” said Kevin Walker, SVP and GM at Manthan Systems. “For instance, one of our c-store clients use ARC Mobile on the iPad to review merchandise performance during in-store visits, including real-time in-stock inventory position and merchandise sell-through monitoring. With ARC Mobile, merchandising employees are able to quickly identify merchandise issues and work directly with store associates to identify areas for improvement.”
