**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consumer Goods | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 18, 2023

**What do you like best about Alloy.ai?**

Seeing multiple retailers data in one database is fantastic.  My Executive Team likes looking at one dashboard that shows them sales trends week to week across retailers or product groups.  I also love that the data is mapped to how we internally look at our products.  Great tool that keeps growing and evolving.  Customer service is also great.

**What do you dislike about Alloy.ai?**

Honeslty, my dislikes are very small.  It can be difficult to find certain measures for specific retailers.  For example,  figuring out where product is in the supply chain can be confusing and take time to figure out.

**What problems is Alloy.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I log into retailer platforms much less now.  All of the data is in Alloy and I can compare weekly or seasonal performance across retailers in one place.  This saves a bunch of time and frustration.

The most valuable part about alloy is my ability to customize dashboards easily. Whenever I type in a filter I need, alloy has the ability to quickly show suggestions for what I am looking for, making the experience very seamless.

**What do you dislike about Alloy.ai?**

Since there are SO many filters and things you can toggle with, there are many valuable attributes that I simply do not know about. Also, each filter has nuances, and I wish I had a better grasp on all those features.

**What problems is Alloy.ai solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Retailer databases are super clunky, old and SLOW, and alloy allows me to take all that data and put it into digestible dashboards. I appreciate the user-friendliness of alloy and my ability to pull multiple data sources into one dashboard.

**Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2022

Alloy makes it easy to review and digest a huge amount of data from multiple retail accounts. I used to spend hours each week aggregating POS data from multiple sources. This is now automated by Alloy, so I can go straight into analyzing trends and answering business questions with their easy-to-use tools.

**What do you dislike about Alloy.ai?**

Having worked with Alloy for six years now, I have yet to encounter any issue that their team has not readily taken on. They roll out improvements and new features in real-time that continuously make their product better. For example, when I found some of their item update tools difficult to use, they quickly upgraded the interface to address my concerns.

**Recommendations to others considering Alloy.ai:**

I have never worked with another service provider that has been as responsive and nimble as Alloy. They quickly address any setup or user issues, and they are eager to incorporate suggestions into product upgrades. It has been a pleasure to watch their platform evolve and improve during the six years that I have been with them.
