FMCG · FIRE Analytics

Analytics for FMCG Brands. Shelf Velocity in Real Time. Not.

Your quarterly report tells you what shipped last quarter. It does not tell you which SKUs are accelerating right now, which pack formats are shifting per channel, or which promotional window is underperforming its pre-order target this week. FIRE Analytics changes the direction of the lens: rotation velocity as it happens, listing signals as they emerge, channel divergence as it forms.

The Problem

Your Shelf Data Arrives After the Shelf Changed.

Rotation Velocity Is Invisible in Order History

An energy bar reorders every 8 days in convenience but every 14 in supermarkets. That velocity difference is a shelf allocation signal. Your ERP shows units shipped. FIRE Analytics shows the rotation curve per SKU, per channel, per pack format — in real time.

Promotional Performance Is a Post-Mortem

Did Back-to-School outperform Q4 Holiday? Which channel drove uptake? Which pack format converted? Without real-time promotional analytics, every answer arrives after the budget was spent. FIRE shows uptake velocity per window while pre-orders are still open.

Channel Divergence Requires Channel-Level Data

Health & wellness growing in drugstores but flat in supermarkets. Multipacks gaining in convenience but declining online. Your aggregate report shows a blended average. FIRE Analytics shows each channel separately — where the divergence is, how fast it moves.

Core Intelligence

Six Data Dimensions. One FIRE Core. Every Channel Connected.

FIRE
Core
Rotation Velocity Reorder frequency per SKU, per channel, per pack format. The speed signal your ERP cannot see.
Promotional Uptake Pre-order velocity per window, per channel. Early warning when a promotion underperforms.
Listing Intelligence Gained, lost, at risk — per account, per channel. Acceptance rates feeding category strategy.
Channel Divergence Where convenience and supermarkets move differently. Where drugstores lead. Where online accelerates.
Pack Format Signals Singles vs multipacks vs display-ready. Shifting preferences per channel as structured demand data.
Session Engagement Dwell time, filter depth, browsing-to-order conversion. Content strategy shaped by actual behaviour.

What FMCG Brands Learn When Booth Engagement Becomes Structured Data

The Bigger Picture

A Quarterly Report Shows What Happened. FIRE Analytics Shows What Is Happening.

FMCG moves weekly. A protein bar accelerates in convenience stores over three weeks, plateaus, then declines. Your quarterly report shows the total. It does not show when the acceleration started, when it peaked, or that it already declined before the report was published. Real-time rotation velocity shows the curve while production windows are still open.

FIRE Analytics aggregates data from every channel into one intelligence layer: portal reorder patterns, trade fair session data, remote selling interactions, and digital showroom engagement. Every category filter, every pack format comparison, every promotional commitment — structured as analytics updating in real time.

The promotional tracking alone justifies the investment. Knowing within the first week whether a promotional window is tracking above or below its pre-order target — that is the difference between confident production scaling and end-of-season discounting. FIRE provides this visibility from the first pre-order.

After one full promotional cycle, your analytics show which SKUs drive velocity per channel and which pack formats gain per segment. After two cycles, category planning starts with evidence. After three, FIRE AI predicts promotional uptake and flags underperforming listings automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

FIRE captures every shelf rotation interaction as structured data. When a buyer explores shelf rotation options on the B2B Portal or Sales App, each selection is logged, analysed, and fed into the AI layer. Over three sales cycles, FIRE predicts shelf rotation demand patterns with increasing accuracy — helping fmcg brands optimise production allocation and reduce dead stock by 15-25%. See FIRE Analytics.
Yes. FIRE Connect integrates with 250+ systems including SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, and industry-specific solutions for promotional calendars. Most fmcg brands are fully integrated within 20-40 days. The integration is bidirectional — orders, stock levels, and promotional calendars data flow seamlessly between FIRE and your existing infrastructure. Learn about FIRE Connect.
Most B2B platforms digitise transactions. FIRE captures intelligence. Every buyer interaction across Portal, Sales App, Digital Showroom, and Remote feeds one unified data layer. After three cycles, the AI predicts buyer behaviour, flags churn risk, and recommends assortment adjustments specific to fmcg — including pack format variants. This compounding intelligence is what sets FIRE apart.
Typically 20 to 40 days from kickoff to live operation. FIRE has pre-built templates for fmcg including shelf rotation, promotional calendars, and pack format variants workflows. The implementation team, based at our headquarters in Wollerau near Zurich, handles ERP integration, data migration, and buyer onboarding. First structured data flows within the first week.

FIRE captures six categories of structured data per buyer session: product views, search behaviour, comparison patterns, shelf rotation interactions, order composition, and session timing. For fmcg specifically, this includes promotional calendars preferences and pack format variants patterns. This intelligence compounds — each cycle makes predictions sharper and recommendations more actionable. Explore FIRE AI.
