SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 1, 2004--Teradata(R), a division of NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR), has provided SUPERVALU INC., one of the largest companies in the U. S. grocery channel, with upgrades to its data warehouse system. As a result, SUPERVALU is consolidating its account reporting and category management systems for individual banners into a single data source, providing business users with the information needed to quickly respond to market changes.
"Rather than have multiple systems and databases across our company, we positioned the Teradata(R) data warehouse to be the single source of information. It provides an accurate view of both the distribution and the retail parts of our business," said Bob Borlik, SUPERVALU senior vice president and chief information officer.
SUPERVALU's data warehouse supports its full range of merchandising and financial reporting applications, including daily information on shipments, point-of-sale data and direct-store-delivery data, as well as metrics on technology performance across the enterprise. The Teradata warehouse also centralizes category management and decision-making for all of the company's retail banners.
"The Teradata warehouse provides SUPERVALU with the ability to manage their business more precisely due to the consolidated view of their business," said Rob Berman, Teradata vice president of retail. "It also enables them to make real-time decisions on product assortment, pricing, merchandising and promotions in light of the potential impact on top-line sales or bottom-line profit. SUPERVALU upgraded their Teradata data warehouse to accommodate the significant growth in users, applications and data that they have been experiencing as they expand its usage throughout their business."
