In today’s hyper-competitive retail market, suppliers are forced to do more with less. In addition, macro-economic complexities are pressurizing customer teams to have a deeper understanding of their business to maintain and grow their share.

With shrinking headcount and budgets, the need for strategic analytic tools that do not just report the current state of the business but lead to actionable intelligence is now greater than ever.

In just a few clicks and a few seconds the dynamic dashboard allows teams to surface and solve key opportunities for impactful business growth


AWAS Solutions specifically designed its suite of services with this problem in mind. Utilizing an automated and interactive dashboard approach, combined with expert consultation, it provides customer teams with the same level of actionable intelligence deployed by Fortune 100 companies at a very affordable rate.

“Our platform provides insights into the four key pillars that influence retail sales: inventory, pricing, merchandising, and shelving,” says Josh Bruns, co-founder of AWAS Solutions. At its core is a dynamic dashboard system called, IgniteIQ. It is the culmination of more than 100 years of retail knowledge, enabling clients to focus on revenue-generating opportunities rather than cumbersome report building.

Unlike other software platforms, IgniteIQ transforms raw data into dollarized opportunities. “In just a few clicks and a few seconds the dynamic dashboards allow teams to surface and solve key opportunities for impactful business growth,” adds Bruns.

Similar frameworks take months to integrate new customers into their system, but AWAS Solutions helps to solve this at the ‘speed of retail.’ In less than 24 hours, a company can be set up to explore their business processes in great detail. After the initial implementation, the igniteSYNC tool allows for automated refreshing, so actionable intelligence is ready when you are.

Moreover, the platform allows a high degree of customization, increasing its versatility. With its built-in item segmentation tool, clients can categorize items into strategic groupings to identify patterns emerging at the point of sale and support their buyers in recognizing impactful trends.

As the company name suggests, which is an acronym for “add water and stir,” AWAS Solutions strives to build products that are easy to use right out the gate. With strong core competencies, AWAS Solutions has ignited several successful client collaborations since its inception in 2019. From weekly reporting to Forecasting support, specialty reports like Ghost Inventory, to special projects such as perfect pitch line review prep, AWAS Solutions is built to drive performance through smarter analytics.

Looking ahead, AWAS has a roadmap of innovation to optimize and revolutionize data analytics for suppliers. In the current space where growth will come from the ability of teams to mine their data, AWAS Solutions is poised to catapult its clients to the top.
