As the pet economy moves from "barbaric growth" to "refined operation", the core of competition has shifted from "relying on experience" to "relying on data". Those stores that are still "making decisions with their heads" will eventually be pulled apart by their competitors who make good use of data weapons.
Domo to Data Integration, Natural Interaction, Scene Templates, Mobile Closures, Zero-Code Operation Five Capabilities to Provide Pet Retail Stores with a Survival Guide Through the Cycle - In the age of data, stores that understand data live better.
The manager of a pet store chain stares at the Excel sheet on the computer screen, her fingers mechanically tapping the "Ctrl+C/V" key combination on the keyboard - this is the 17th time she has tried to piece together data from three different systems.
Sales records from the store's POS machine, consumer preferences from the membership system, and temporary warnings from inventory management - all of these key pieces of information that should link up the entire picture of the store's operations - are now like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, rendering her speechless when she was asked by headquarters at the quarterly business review meeting, "Why is the gross margin of the staple food category down by 6%?
This is not an isolated case, and it's being repeated in pet retail stores across the country. As the industry's closure rate continues to climb, stores that are still using "empiricism" to combat market changes are being pushed to the brink by the wave of the data age. And Domo The emergence of this traditional industry is injecting new rules of survival.
The core pain point of pet retail lies in the "fragmentation" of data. The data from store POS, e-commerce backend, and supplier systems are independent, like disconnected beads that are difficult to connect.Domo By automating the data pipeline, theBy connecting these scattered data in real time, the sales, inventory and flow of each can of cat food can be clearly seen.
The owner of a community pet store was once overwhelmed by inventory management until he noticed on the Domo dashboard that the inventory turnover days for Royal Canin kitten food had dropped from 40 days to 12 days, and realized that he had missed the best time to replenish his stock before the 11th of February. After connecting to Domo, he realized he had missed the best time to replenish his stock before the 11th of February.Dynamic Inventory Heat Map Real Time Change: green for safety stock, yellow for slow-moving risk, red for out-of-stock warning.Inventory problems are now clear at a glance.
Real-time data brings operational flexibility.The store owner showed the Domo interface: the sales volume of an imported insect repellent at 7-9pm was three times higher than during the day. He immediately adjusted his scheduling to shift his senior consultants to the evening peak, and sales of that product category increased significantly that month. "The weekly report, which used to take three hours to organize, can now be generated in 10 minutes."Real-time data doubles decision-making efficiency.
Traditional data analytics tools require programming code, which is extremely unfriendly to pet store "data nerds". Instead Domo The ChatGPT-like interactions of the ChatGPT have turned the status quo on its head - theAsk questions in everyday language and get professional analysis.
The regional manager of a chain brand typed in "Compare the difference in customer unit price of snacks between Store A and Store B in the past three months" in the chat window, and the AI assistant not only generated a comparison chart immediately, but also proactively pushed insights: "Store A's customer unit price is higher than that of Store A by 14%, due to the share of imported freeze-dried food by 35%, but the inventory turnover of this category is low, so it is recommended that the selection of products should be optimized.No complicated operations are required, and data conclusions are at your fingertips.
Here's the kicker. "Predictive Analysis" Function. When the manager asks "which categories need to be stocked next quarter", the system combines historical sales, seasonal factors, and social media buzz to generate a forecast model. This foresight allows purchasing decisions to shift from "reactive replenishment" to "proactive deployment".We have completely got rid of the predicament of "out of stock or out of inventory".
For multi-store operators, setting up data signage used to be a time-consuming and labor-intensive challenge. However Domo's library of scenario-based templates shortens the process to 5 minutes.The system automatically links the data and generates reports that include indicators such as member repurchase rate and customer unit price distribution. When Mr. Chen, the owner of a number of stores, selects the template of "Store Operation Health Diagnosis", the system automatically associates the data and generates reports containing indicators such as member repurchase rate and unit price distribution, so that the problems of the stores can be seen at a glance.
The "Problem Product Diagnosis" template became his "savior". The system automatically flagged a cat food product as "high inventory, low turnover" and suggested a bundling strategy of "buy cat food, get a free cat bowl". After implementation, the inventory turnover days of the product were effectively compressed, releasing tens of thousands of dollars in cash flow.Templating tools make complex data analysis "grab and go".
The ultimate value of data is in the field.Domo The core advantage of Domo is to build a closed loop of "Data Insight - Business Action - Value Enhancement". Through Domo, a high-end pet store found that "30% customers would consult a nutritionist when purchasing staple food", so it immediately set up a "Nutritional Consultation Zone" and launched the "Staple Food + Consultation" package, which contributed extra revenue in the first month.
The customer churn alert function also creates value. A community store identified VIP customers who hadn't visited the store for more than 60 days through the system, and the store staff activated them with personalized communication templates (containing information on customers' shopping preferences, pet birthdays, etc.), which enabled more than half of the VIP customers to return to the store and drove up customer traffic in the same month.Data is no longer a cold number, but a visible engine of growth.
The pain point of relying on IT teams for traditional BI tools is especially prominent in the pet retail industry. The CIO of a chain brand said frankly: "The cost of training talents who understand both business and BI is equivalent to building another store. And Domo The "code-zero" design allows store managers toCustomize your reports with drag-and-drop operations, eliminating your dependence on IT.
As the pet economy moves from "barbaric growth" to "refined operation", the core of competition has shifted from "relying on experience" to "relying on data". Those stores that are still "making decisions with their heads" will eventually be pulled apart by their competitors who make good use of data weapons.Domo's five capabilities are data integration, natural interaction, scene templates, closed loop mobility, and zero-code operation.A survival guide for retail pet stores through the cycle -In the age of data, the stores that understand data can live better.
