To address these challenges, retailers have built the following solutions into their strategy:Operate in real-time: Companies must be able to rapidly ingest data at scale and make insights available across the value chain in real-time.Eliminate technical roadblocks: Allows organizations to perform fine-grained analysis for all products within their tight service level agreements.Use multimodal data quickly and efficiently for analysis: Only 5-10% of a company’s data is structured. Tapping into the other 90% of data helps businesses better understand the environment around them and make better decisions.Gain an inexpensive and open method of collaboration: For data and analysis, collaboration is critical to ensure open interaction and innovation for all partners in the value chain. Enhanced collaboration also improves the speed of operations, builds richer analytics, and reduces the cost of alignment across the value chain.What are the benefits to retailers?Immediate benefits: Real-time access to data. Moving from batch-oriented access, analysis, and compute will allow data to be “always-on”, which drives real-time decisions and business intelligence. Real-time use cases, such as demand forecasting, personalization, on-shelf availability, arrival time prediction, and order picking & consolidation, provide value to the organization through improved supply chain agility, reduced cost to serve, optimized product availability, and stocking replenishment.Long-term benefits:Retail has always been about collaboration - but most of that collaboration didn’t involve data sharing or data collaboration. Lakehouse for Retail is changing this. Data sharing between retailers, suppliers, agencies, and distributors, in an open and secure environment, opens up additional fine-grained use cases, therefore promoting additional consumption.Learn more about Lakehouse for Retail solutions.Additional ResourcesIntroduction to Lakehouse for Retail VideoCollaborating Across the Retail Value Chain with Data and AIThe Retail Lakehouse: Build Resiliency and Agility in the Age of DisruptionReimagining the future of retail with data + AI blogBack to GlossaryProductPlatform OverviewPricingOpen Source TechTry DatabricksDemoProductPlatform OverviewPricingOpen Source TechTry DatabricksDemoLearn & SupportDocumentationGlossaryTraining & CertificationHelp CenterLegalOnline CommunityLearn & SupportDocumentationGlossaryTraining & CertificationHelp CenterLegalOnline CommunitySolutionsBy IndustriesProfessional ServicesSolutionsBy IndustriesProfessional ServicesCompanyAbout UsCareers at DatabricksDiversity and InclusionCompany BlogContact UsCompanyAbout UsCareers at DatabricksDiversity and InclusionCompany BlogContact UsSee Careers
