Springing into retail season with a million datapoints and no clear narrative? That’s the challenge many consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies face daily. With fragmented datasets, time-consuming analyses, and mounting pressure to win shelf space, sales and insights teams often struggle to surface the opportunities buried in their own information. That’s where Bedrock Analytics steps in.
Bedrock Analytics
Bedrock Analytics is a modern, AI-powered platform that helps CPG brands turn raw, syndicated, and POS data into compelling sales stories and actionable insights. Bedrock is designed to streamline how teams interact with performance data. It makes it faster and easier to understand what’s happening across products, categories, retailers, and markets—and use that understanding to drive growth.
At its core, Bedrock gives brands a powerful competitive edge: the ability to analyze, visualize, and present data in a fraction of the time it typically takes. Whether you’re building a buyer-facing deck or trying to uncover why velocity has dipped in a particular channel, Bedrock empowers users to move from confusion to clarity—fast.
By harmonizing data from sources like Nielsen, SPINS, Circana/IRI, retailer POS systems, and even e-commerce platforms, Bedrock eliminates the silo problem that plagues so many analytics teams. Its automation engine applies machine learning to interpret sales trends, visualize results, and highlight threats and opportunities—all inside a user-friendly interface.

Equally important is speed-to-insight. With Bedrock’s AI-driven dashboards and templates, both sales and analytics teams can get real-time visibility into what’s happening across the business.
