What We Do

At DFS, we combine advanced data engineering with practical retail strategy.

We don’t just build dashboards — we create structured, reliable intelligence platforms that support real business decisions across sales, operations, and leadership teams.

Our work centers around three core capabilities:

  • Retail performance visibility

  • Promotional effectiveness and optimization

  • Inventory and distribution risk prevention

Everything we build is grounded in clean, harmonized data and tailored to how brands actually operate in retail.

Our Approach

Built on Data Integrity

Strong insights start with strong foundations.

We invest heavily in:

  • Data cleaning and validation

  • Item and store harmonization

  • Cross-source reconciliation

  • Consistent hierarchies and definitions

This ensures every metric you see is accurate, defensible, and buyer-ready.

Designed for Decision-Making

Our platforms are built to answer real questions:

  • Where is performance accelerating or slowing?

  • Which promotions are actually incremental?

  • Which stores or distributors are putting distribution at risk?

  • Where should teams focus next?

We prioritize clarity, usability, and action — not vanity metrics.

Tailored, Not Templated

No two brands have the same data structure, retail footprint, or growth stage.

Every DFS engagement is customized to your:

  • Retail partners

  • Distributor network

  • Category dynamics

  • Internal workflows

The result is a system that fits your business — not the other way around.

A Strategic Partnership — Not Just Software

DFS operates as an extension of your team.

Every engagement includes:

  • Structured onboarding

  • Ongoing support

  • Custom metric development

  • Retail-specific reporting builds

  • Strategic alignment conversations

We believe data should reduce stress, not create it.

When your retail intelligence is engineered correctly, growth becomes intentional — not accidental.
