REDWOOD SHORES, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 15, 2016) - Zyme, the market leader in the rapidly growing discipline of channel data management (CDM) , is bringing channel data to life through a strategic partnership with Qlik ® , a leader in visual analytics. Zyme's cloud-based CDM platform leverages the Qlik visual analytics platform to deliver prebuilt dashboards for incisive analytics from a global vantage point and with store-level granularity to users on any device. While Zyme and Qlik have been partners for the past seven years, this strategic partnership now leverages Qlik's latest platform innovations such as Qlik Sense ® and empowers customers to quickly turn Zyme's decision-grade channel data into actionable intelligence through visualizations that capture channel sales performance, inventory levels, e-commerce trends and much more.

Qlik's best-in-class visual analytics solution -- which is integrated directly into the Zyme platform -- helps customers leverage channel data to drive critical business decisions in real time. The modern and user-friendly interface allows users to uncover important trends and communicate them clearly across the organization. The flexibility to create and share visualizations across desktop and mobile devices builds on Zyme's mission to give users important channel intelligence even when they're on the go.
Zyme's partnership with Qlik powers an array of cloud-based business intelligence solutions, including zapGlobal, zapRetail, zapMobile and zymeEcommerce:
- zapGlobal provides insight into global and regional channel sales and inventory stock with a unified view that can be broken down by product, partner or geography.
- zapRetail delivers store-level visibility so that users can compare performance trends across major retailers as well as track inventory and returns at a retailer level.
- zapMobile brings the same business intelligence to mobile phones and tablets, giving channel executives insight into partner performance on the go.
- zymeEcommerce addresses companies' increased focus on omni-channel sales. The integrated analytics functions help customers gain a competitive advantage by displaying online product visibility metrics, such as search rank and reviews, tracked against competitors' products in the same categories.
The close integration between Zyme and Qlik platforms ensures that customers automatically get the same level of security and richness of data, without worrying about how to transfer sensitive information across different systems. The platform also provides enterprise-ready data governance that ensures sensitive data is only accessible to authorized users.
