Sales dataset

Sales dataset containing aggregated daily sales per product-location, used by the Rebuy & Replenishment capability of the Merchandising solution to understand demand patterns over time.

The sales dataset contains aggregated daily sales for each product at each location. This dataset represents actual customer demand and is used by the Rebuy & Replenishment capability of the Merchandising solution to understand demand patterns over time.

For Rebuy & Replenishment, sales provide the demand history signal in place of order-level customer orders.

Purpose

The Rebuy & Replenishment capability uses sales data to analyze demand volatility at the product and location level. This analysis is used to calculate inventory parameters and support replenishment and stock optimization recommendations.

During presales, this dataset is also used to assess historical inventory performance and understand the factors influencing demand and service levels.
