We are evolving from a series of deep, descriptive analytics modules to a
Commerce Intelligence Platform:
hinged on the principles of integration, intelligence, and actionability.
Suppliers and merchants alike need granular and reliable data to fuel their decision-making—and we’ll continue to deliver that. But they also need the data and analytics to be seamlessly integrated. They need a prescriptive intelligence layer to pull out the “so-what” driving decisions and actions. And they need interoperability across the Walmart ecosystem best enabling those actions.
We’ve heard that loud and clear from you.
So here’s what we’re focused on delivering in Scintilla:
-
The evolution of our Scintilla Boards library to include fully flexible Boards—so you can easily build your own take on our Business Overview Board or any other quick view appropriate for your business or specific role, delivering a more integrated and custom experience for users.
-
Scintilla Opportunities, slated to deliver on the promise of the “intelligence” layer in Commerce Intelligence Platform by proactively flagging anomalies, surfacing insights, and recommending actions to take. See proactively where you may be able to act on potential out of stocks and other remediable use cases saving users time and effort.
-
And Custom Alerts—because in addition to what we think you want to know, you know what else you need to know. You’ll be able to set your own thresholds for metrics and be alerted as they take a dip or spike giving you more flexibility and control.
And nowhere better does this evolution of capabilities come together to drive down time-to-action than with Scintilla In-Store. The integrated power of Boards, Opportunities, and Custom Alerts will enable roles like supply chain analysts to better direct actions of field merchandisers–keeping products in place and in stock, driving sales, and serving and delighting customers in the process. This same visibility and intelligence will allow analysts and brands to see actions taken and the ROI driven by their investments. We are creating a closed loop ecosystem.
And we’re especially excited about how we’re thoughtfully deploying AI across this ecosystem. That’s coming to life with Marty, our super-agent and Scintilla companion: allowing you to engage with all of these capabilities and tools in an easy, conversational manner. Today you can easily search the Knowledge Base and Data Dictionary. But Marty for Scintilla has an even brighter future emerging. One day you’ll be able to build a Board or customer survey with Marty, or facilitate a multi-step analysis and receive recommendations with context.
