As Software as a Service (SaaS) has moved further into the 21st century, an essential component of that service has become data summarization and reporting. The quantitative aspect of a company’s performance has never been more comprehensible than today - allowing management to put their finger to the pulse of small businesses and Fortune 500s alike. Below, we highlight some of the key Salsify features that facilitate the aforementioned in the modern retail landscape.
Salsify Automated Insights allow brands an opportunity to no longer manually monitor their digital performance for price, content, availability and search by offering powerful, closed-loop product page analytics. This allows brands to measure the impact of the product content they syndicate to the digital shelf.
