Data Collector

Turn every store visit into data you can decide on

Centralize every piece of in-store information on a single platform. Your team captures it in the app, you analyze it in real time, and you act on hard data.

Data Collector is GU Trade's app for in-store data collection: merchandisers and promoters record prices, stock and displays through forms, checklists and photos, online or offline, and the data reaches the web platform in real time.
