This report provides dynamic retail metrics powered by the Alloy integration. > **Note:** The three Muffin reports within this bundle require the **Muffin data integration** to populate data. However, the Alloy integration can also be connected separately to populate this specific report. *** ### Getting Started #### Prerequisites You must have one of the following integrations enabled: * **Alloy** *(contact our CS team to get integrated)* *** ### Dashboard Layout The Alloy Retail Metrics report uses a unique UI compared to other DrivePoint reports. Filters are displayed here **at the top of the dashboard** across multiple rows. > **Tip:** Click the filter area to expand/collapse the filter rows if they are hidden. #### Filters | Filter | Description | | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Date** | Select the date range for your report. | | **Interval** | Toggle between `Month` or `Week (Sun-Sat)`. | | **Metric Value** | Choose which metric to display (e.g., Unit Sales). | | **Dimension** | A control that switches the breakdown dimension used in the chart and table. | #### Dimension Control The **Dimension** control allows you to change how data is grouped. There are five available dimensions: 1. **Partner** *(default)* — Groups data by retail partner. 2. **Product Name** — Groups data by product name. 3. **SKU** — Groups data by SKU. 4. **EPC** — Groups data by EPC. 5. **Item Number** — Groups data by item number. When you switch dimensions, the chart series and the table output below it will update automatically to reflect the selected grouping. These dimensions are also available as individual filters. *** ### Working with Metrics #### Selecting a Metric The **Metric Value** filter lets you choose from a variety of metrics provided by Alloy. The default metric is **Unit Sales**. > **Important:** Not every metric is available for every retailer. Unit Sales is generally available across all retailers, but other metrics may vary. You will need to test availability for your specific retail partners. #### How Metrics Are Calculated All metrics are **pre-calculated** within Drivepoint's data pipelines and pre-aggregated based on the selected interval and dimension breakdowns. When you select a metric, a description is displayed on the dashboard showing: * How the metric is **calculated by Alloy** * How it has been **aggregated within DrivePoint** #### Aggregation Types | Aggregation Type | Description | Example Metrics | | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | | **Sum** | Values are summed across the selected interval. | Unit Sales, Receipts | | **Last Value** | The final value within the selected interval is used. | Ending Inventory, Ending On-Hand | > **Example:** If you select "Ending Inventory On Order" with a **monthly** interval, the report will display the last recorded value for that metric within each month. If you switch to a **weekly** interval, it will show the last value for each week instead. *** ### FAQ **Q: Why is this metric selection showing none or sparse data for this partner?** A: Not all metrics are available for every retailer and some are infrequently tracked by the retailer. Try switching to a different metric such as Unit Sales, which has the broadest availability. **Q: What's the difference between the Alloy integration and the Muffin integration?** A: The Muffin integration is required for the other three reports in the Wholesale and Retail bundle. The Alloy integration can be connected independently and will populate the Alloy Retailer Metrics report specifically. **Q: How frequently is the data updated?** A: Data is pulled by Alloy from the retailers, which is receives updated data from the retailers on a varying basis - it is generally updated on a weekly basis. Drivepoint cleans up the data further and pre-aggregates it further. We run this process on a daily basis. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
