42 is an end-to-end analytics stack for retailers and brands!
Whether it's store managers running A/B tests on new product placement, CEOs looking at their global store performance, or merchandisers planning the next season, our platform enables retailers and brands to get instant visibility in their business.
The majority of retailers don't have the in-house expertise to spin up data infrastructure. Instead, they piece together reports in excel on a daily basis. This works fine for small eCommerce brands, but not for retailers in the $50M-$5B range. That's where we come in.
We offer our customers:
- Retail-specific dashboards: best-practice metrics / visuals are built-in and customizable
- No integration: we make their data and systems work with our platform
- Hosted infrastructure: we host the pipelines and data warehouse
