Retail
Run your retail network with AI‑generated insights & activity, not just report on it
For retail groups, franchise networks and buying groups, MyIQ also manages the products, promotions and rebates behind the numbers. Head office, stores and suppliers work from the same data, so what you plan is what gets sold, claimed and reported.
Product Management
One master product file for your whole network
Keep a single, trusted product list across head office, stores and suppliers. Suppliers manage their own product lists and upload them to MyIQ, which feeds your POS — with checks along the way so incorrect data does not get through. Everyone sees the same product, the same way, in every report.
- Search and filter every product by SKU or PLU, brand, supplier, department and range
- Hold the details your POS does not, such as ranges, rebate rates and images, in one place
- Product, store and supplier history kept, so past reports stay right when things change
- Export product lists for suppliers, marketing and online channels
Promotion Management
Plan, build and publish promotions in one place
Replace spreadsheets and email chains with one promotion workflow. Supplier and retailer bids are managed in the portal, so deals, price points, products and confirmations are all agreed in one place — no more email back-and-forth. Choose the deals that work for your margin, then publish them to your stores' POS without re-keying.
- Promotion cycles with start, end and supplier submission dates
- Supplier portal: bids, deals, price points, products and confirmations all managed in one place
- Advertised, multi-buy, mix and match and bundle deals
- Cost and gross profit shown for each deal before you commit
- Publish to store POS, with clear status from draft through to published
- Files for posters, flyers, shelf tickets and your website
Plan promotions with Ask MyIQ
Ask MyIQ, the AI built into MyIQ, can help build your promotion programme from your own sales and margin data. Ask it for:
- A suggested end-to-end promotion programme
- Suggested products for particular weeks
- The right mix of categories
- Price points that maximise sales, margin or a balance of both
Rebate Management
Rebates calculated for you, from the same data
Because your products, promotions and sales all live in MyIQ, rebates are worked out automatically from what was actually sold. No more building claims by hand at the end of each cycle, and no more guessing what a promotion really earned.
- Promotional rebates calculated from published promotions and scanned sales
- Range rebate rates held against products and suppliers
- Supplier and store rebate reports, ready for claims and payments
- Rebates flow into gross profit, so margin reporting shows the true position
