What is POS data?
Some companies get confused when talking about POS data. They often think of their shipment data or order data as POS. When we refer to POS, we are not talking about internal reports and we are not referring to shipment or order data. In addition, we are not talking about the format of the data. POS can come in many formats, EDI, flat file, txt, csv, AS2, etc. Regardless of the format of data or the products you sell, POS data is the data that comes from the retailers regarding your products’ sales. It has a transaction associated with it when the product was purchased. The type of product can vary. It can be cellular phone, communication device, cosmetics, healthcare, vitamins, OTC, home improvement products, clothing, general merchandise, consumables, personal care, etc. Other companies think that because they have a broker or distributor that POS does not apply to them. POS does apply. Whether you sell through food, drug, mass, big box, department, c-stores, military, etc. POS data
