What We Do

Our purpose is to power precision in retail through an ecosystem of data, software, and AI solutions. We take the complexity of retail — data, systems, and execution — and turn it into something precise, connected, and efficient.


Who We Serve

Our platforms and data ecosystems support every link in the retail chain — from strategic planning to the last mile.

Manufacturers & Brands

Give your teams the visibility they need to make sharper decisions — from pricing and promotions to field execution. Designed for FMCG, CPG and industrial brands operating in fast-moving and emerging markets.

Retailers & Marketplaces

Bring your operations, channels and store networks together. Our tools help retailers run smarter — improving inventory accuracy, store performance and retail media revenue, all in one connected ecosystem.

Distributors & Supply Chain Partners

Run leaner, faster and more accurately with cloud platforms built for real-world logistics. From warehouses to fleets, we help distributors improve visibility, reduce cost and deliver with confidence.

Agencies & Retail Media Networks

Equip your media and commercial teams with live retail data, automated workflows and integrated reporting across in-store, digital and out-of-home. Everything you need to plan, sell and monetise media with clarity.

Rooted in Smollan’s Retail Legacy

We bring the power of Smollan’s global retail experience into the digital world, shaped by work done on the ground in over 60 countries.

That foundation gives us something rare: a deep understanding of how retail really works, the practicality that comes from nearly a century of field execution, and the scale to help clients transform with confidence.

Why It Matters

  • Over 90 years of retail experience
  • Global reach with local precision
  • Trusted by leading retail and FMCG brands
  • Built on real operational insight, not theory
  • Technology and execution working together

Guiding Principles

Our technology is built on the same principles that have guided Smollan for decades. We take ownership, build relationships that endure, and use data, software and AI to drive continuous growth – always focused on winning at the point of purchase.

Make it yours

We own the outcome. From data quality to deployment, we take responsibility for every detail and ask, “What can I do to help the team win?” We move quickly, keep our promises, and favour practical solutions that work in real stores, with real people.

Build relationships that last

We use data to strengthen, not replace, human relationships. Our platforms are designed to build trust between retailers, manufacturers, distributors and shoppers – creating shared views of performance, transparent ways of working, and partnerships that grow over time.

Strive for growth

We never settle for good enough. We experiment, learn and use advanced analytics and AI to uncover new ways to grow. We challenge convention with bold ideas grounded in evidence, helping our clients move from reporting on the past to shaping what happens next.

We take ownership, build trust, and use data to unlock smarter growth at the point of purchase.
