ABOUT POO POURRI

Poo-Pourri, renowned for its innovative air fresheners, operates in the competitive Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) sector. The company's products are available at major retailers including Walmart, Target, Costco, CVS, and Bed Bath & Beyond.


The company emphasizes data-driven strategies, beginning with retail performance data from Circana (formerly IRI).

To optimize product placement and drive sales performance, Poo-Pourri adopted Athenic AI, bridging the gap between intuition and hard data.

CHALLENGE

In the rapidly evolving retail landscape, securing optimal shelf space is crucial for success. Despite having strong instincts about market potential, Poo-Pourri's brand leaders needed solid data to pitch retailers of their products' competitiveness. The task was made more complex by the vast amount of data available and the need for specialized expertise on retailer priorities, an area where their category managers excel but lacked the tools to analyze complex data efficiently. Lacking efficient tools for analyzing complex data, Poo-Pourri needed a solution that empowered these category managers to independently access and interpret data, crafting compelling, data-backed pitches to retailers.
