I have Vendor Pulse open on my desk all day to follow the sales of my product at our participating retailers. I am able to see all sales of our products. Insights into what’s selling allow us to proactively recommend fill-ins of fast selling products to our retailers.

We view ourselves as brand consultants to our retailers. We need access to their Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) to help them succeed in selling our products. Edge Retail Academy’s Vendor Pulse provides this critical data so we can deliver on our mission. Suppliers who use vendor pulse work smarter and have stronger product turns.

Vendor Pulse has revolutionized the way Ostbye operates, transforming our approach from simply selling to jewelry retail stores to empowering them to thrive. This innovative platform ensures that our customers are equipped with best-selling items and the optimal inventory required for business growth. As a result, Ostbye has evolved into a more valuable and supportive partner for retail jewelers, all thanks to the insights and efficiency provided by Vendor Pulse.

The Edge Retail Academy has enabled us to gain valuable insights into the nature of our business and to partner more closely with our retailers. Many manufacturers wrongly equate sell-in with sell-thru. The Edge Retail Academy empowers us with the valuable insights that only sell-thru data can provide. Working with the Edge Retail Academy has enabled us to strengthen our relationships with customers, improve our product development, and better optimize inventory.

I start my day with Vendor Pulse to get a clear sense of how each of our products are doing at retail among our independent retailers.
As a vendor, we’re accustomed to seeing information on what we are able to sell into our customers’ stores. But with Vendor Pulse, we get real time analytics on what’s actually selling, allowing us to gain a much better understanding for the merchandise in our line that is working best at retail. To get the most out of opportunities when we see accelerated sell through on one our items we can use the Vendor Pulse relationship to reach out to our retailers to ensure efficient reorders so that we maintain strong inventory turn and minimize or even eliminate lost sales. Many vendors confuse sell-in and sell-through; Vendor Pulse provides a clear, comprehensive picture.

Vendor Pulse tells us immediately when a product is sold which allows us to ship replacement product– minimizing the chance we lose future sales. Our understanding of our sell-through enables us to better develop future products as well as manage our own current inventory. As it becomes harder for the sales team to visit retailer locations, programs like Vendor Pulse enable us to support them, including a quick replenishment of top sellers.
