Modell’s POS Data Sharing Program for Suppliers
Program Overview
Modell’s Sporting Goods has partnered with Edifice to provide suppliers with a comprehensive data sharing program. Through Edifice, you can receive a robust set of UPC and store-level point-of-sale (POS) and inventory data in a variety of formats including web-based dashboards and decision-ready Excel reports. Suppliers who already have invested in reporting systems can receive core data in an extract or EDI 852. This program affords your organization greater visibility into consumer demand at Modell’s than ever before.
Modell’s is proving this program to suppliers to better align business strategies and collaboration more effectively on strategies for improving mutual business results. By utilizing the information and analysis provided through Edifice, your company will be able to work more closely with Modell’s to improve sales, margin and turn by:
- Optimizing replenishment programs
- Ensuring the availability of key items
- Localizing assortments to the store level
- Tracking and modifying new product launches

Dashboards
Dashboards enable your organization to gain insight into the health of your business at Modell’s. Your organization will be able to quickly and easily monitor key performance indicators, understand sales trends, and track key items and stores through graphically-rich charts and graphs. When users want to understand more about the data, they can drill-down on any chart or graph. If they need to take the information offline, they can save the dashboards as PDF files. Dashboards are delivered through the Edifice web portal.
Excel Reports
Excel reports are preconfigured into decision-ready analysis including: Top Stores, Top Products, Monthly and Weekly Sales Trends in Dollars, Stock-Out Exposure, Unit Sales and Inventory Analysis, Stock-to-Sales Analysis, and more. All reports contain a robust set of expanded metrics and attributes down to the UPC and store level and each report is equipped with analysis tools that allow you to filter, sort, and drill-down your information to help you find opportunities for increasing sales and lowering costs. Excel reports are delivered weekly through the Edifice web portal.
Data Extracts and EDI 852s
If your organization has already invested in business intelligence applications, Edifice can provide you with core data elements in a data extract or an EDI 852. Extracts can be defined by your company and can include any core data element such as until sales, dollar sales, on-hand, on-order, etc. The EDI 852 is formatted to the standard EDI guidelines and includes basic unit sales and inventory data. Extracts and EDI 852s can be delivered via VAN, FTP, SFTP, or AS2.
