ENGINE FOR GROWTH
Seize the data
From managing warehouse inventory and coordinating
international distribution, to stocking store shelves and
tracking customers’ buying habits, data touches every facet
of our business and impacts every decision made. Do it Best
continues to focus on driving even better decision making
by continuing to implement tools that use the power of data
to remove the guesswork and provide you with actionable
insights.
“In the last fiscal year, we have continued to prioritize and
enhance our approach to data analysis and management
across the organization. Ultimately, this helps both the
co-op and its members make informed, strategic decisions
and implement tactics that build efficiency and drive
growth,” said John Mergy, vice president of information
technology. “We’ve invested heavily in advancing our
software and technologies to ensure we’re optimizing all
aspects of the business.”
Our teams have enhanced capabilities in three major
areas: demand forecasting, category management, and
promotional analysis. Better data support ensures that
you can confidently choose the right product mix and
promotions at the right time for your business. Smarter
forecasting also helps our distribution centers achieve
higher fill rates and mitigate supply chain disruptions.
“Our goal is to consistently
delight our members, our staff,
and our vendors.”
