Trend Analysis & Insights helps teams spot what’s changing in the business — quickly, consistently, and without building custom reports. Using clear, repeatable query patterns powered by Hank inside Retail+, teams can track rolling performance, surface early decline, identify real growth, and rank what’s driving profit, all from the same trusted measures.
Built for day-to-day decision-making, it answers the practical questions teams face every week: what’s drifting, what’s working, what’s worth backing, and what needs attention. Instead of relying on last week’s snapshots or one-off analysis, teams can anchor decisions in current run-rates, detect small changes before they become big problems, and separate sustained growth from short-term noise. Whether reviewing margin momentum, validating unit economics, or identifying consistent performers, Trend Analysis & Insights keeps decisions grounded in how the business is actually trading over time.
By giving every role a shared, repeatable way to read change, Trend Analysis & Insights replaces ad-hoc analysis with clearer priorities, faster learning, and more confident action across the organisation.
Morning
You start with a clean trading pulse. You ask Hank: “What are my rolling total sales for this week, this month and this quarter?”
You anchor the day in the current run-rate, not last week’s recap.
Noon
You check for early drift. You ask: “Are there any departments that have declining sales?” then “Give me 3 departments where sales are declining month on month over the past quarter.”
You spot the slide while it’s still small enough to fix.
Afternoon
You look for where momentum is building. You ask: “List the categories that have the highest growth by margin in descending order.”
You can see where profit is accelerating, and where it isn’t.
Late afternoon
You identify growth you can lean into. You ask: “Name 5 products where sales have been increasing by 5% every month for the past 3 months.”
You find consistent growers, not one-off spikes.
Evening
You sanity-check the unit economics on a key item before you make a call. You ask: “What is the gross margin and gross profit for Bananas over last week and last month?”
You keep decisions grounded in both margin and dollars, over time.
Trend Analysis & Insights gives the whole team a shared, repeatable way to understand change and focus attention — without rebuilding analysis every week. Leaders see the core performance levers and where profit and margin growth are concentrating. Operations teams spot early drift and direct effort where it will shift outcomes fastest. Store and category managers gain clear visibility into what’s slowing, what’s growing, and which products are carrying the week, making daily priorities easier to set. Buying teams focus time on high-margin products and suppliers that are driving meaningful profit, while shop-floor teams get clearer direction on what needs attention right now.
Margins are tighter, staff stretched, and data scattered across disconnected tools.
Retail+ brings AI-driven clarity to every decision — from store floor to boardroom — so you can act in real time, not in retrospect.
