gfknewron® Supply Chain offers Tech & Durables manufacturers and other users in-depth insights for sell-through market information based on distributor sales data from around 300 distributors across over 45 global markets. The data is updated weekly for 200 product groups across IT, Consumer Electronics, Office, Telecom and Small Domestic Appliances. With 24 individual sales channels being reported, users will receive an unparalleled view of distribution markets.

To enable this comprehensive market view, NIQ has collaborated with the Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC) and its members. “The GTDC is a proud partner of NIQ and our members are excited to contribute to this great achievement as it truly simplifies working with distribution intelligence. The tool empowers users to easily analyze distributor sales information with great flexibility across markets. Our distributors and vendors are already looking forward to onboarding their teams and increasing their efficiency of sell-through market data analytics,” said Peter van den Berg, General Manager GTDC EMEA.

The tool facilitates quick access and seamless switching between different modules, allowing users to promptly understand growth drivers in distribution markets, brand and sales channel dynamics, price developments as well as identify top selling items on single SKU-level. This helps manufacturers and distributors steer their channel and sales management as well as to optimize their pricing in distribution markets. Thanks to NIQ´s geographical coverage, manufacturers and distributors benefit from global unified distribution intelligence across markets. The tool strengthens collaboration as analytics can easily be combined and shared across teams.

Together with Point-of-Sales information and Consumer Insights, profound market decisions can be made. NIQ´s Forecasting module on Point-of-Sale information complements the users’ view, providing insights on future market expectations.
