If you want to keep an eye on specific brands, retailers, and/or products, click Customize next to 'You Watchlist' to quickly jump to any items you want to consistently view.
Click More... under any tile to fully load data prior to adding to 'Your Watchlist'.
If the spelling of your brand name varies, like "WEED" and "W33D", and retailers upload difference variations of your brand name into their system, you may not be looking at a full dataset if you're only looking at one variation. AIQ's Alias Manager consolidates these variations so you can see how a brand is performing in its entirety, regardless of spelling.
The Instance input should be filled with the name you’re mapping to (WEED), and the alias input should be filled with the name being re-mapped (W33D). Variations of names can be found by searching the varying tables in Market Spotlight.

Click + Alias and then Save Alias and moving forward, all data pulled from the Alias will be found in the Instance.
The data that populates when the page first loads will be from the previous seven days. Search for a specific brand/retailer/product and add in your geographic and category parameters. You can also use the Geofence tool to draw a boundary around a specific area.
Date range: The default date range is the previous seven days compared to seven days prior to that. If you only put in a 'Date Range' and don't add parameters for 'Compare Against', the % deltas in each of the tiles below will default to the same date range immediately prior to your 'Date Range'.
Click Run Analysis.

Data is pulled from gross pre-sale transactions. The % and $ deltas are calculated from the date range you set compared to the 'Compare Against' date range. If you did not set a 'Compare Against' date range it will default to the same date range immediately prior to the 'Date Range'.
The Retailers tile shows how many of 'Your Company's' SKUs are out of stock and a how many days until your product is out of stock at that retailer.
The Brands tile shows how many retailers are 'low' on product and how many days are left until your product is out of stock of that brand.
This is showing the number of brands a retailer is selling or number of retailers a brand is being sold at.
This section shows the number of retailers, brands, and/or products that were sold during the date range input in the search parameters.
