Our take
Consumer demand is changing rapidly, particularly for e-commerce brands, and customer expectations are rising. The ability to swiftly identify and meet these demands is a competitive necessity. Alloy is a digital-native company helping brands monitor and analyse sales and inventory, to leverage sales insights and scrub out inefficiencies in their supply chain.
The cloud-based aspect of Alloy is likely to prove attractive to companies increasingly working with large-scale data buckets, a service that harnesses the power of data at a macro and micro level is both future-looking and profit-promising. To date, this has secured Alloy some impressive clients, including Facebook, Bosch and Ferrero.
The company is explicit about its engineer-oriented company structure, and this is likely to have contributed significantly to its swift innovation. Alloy now has a raft of products and successful investments under its belt, and if it can capitalize on the increased demand for detailed and real-time data it could stand to continue making real headway.
