Where do they still trail?","body":"The global pandemic accelerated the move to online shopping and paved the way for more need-based shopping by conscious shoppers. As more consumers migrated to this digital landscape, product transparency through comprehensive product content became critical.
\n\nRetailers and their manufacturer suppliers were forced to adapt or risk shopper loyalty. In fact, 64% of shoppers will switch from a brand they usually buy to another brand that provides more in-depth product information.
\n\nProduct content powers the digital path to purchase. Are retailers delivering an experience that matches consumer expectations?
\n\nThe \"Digital Depth Analysis: The e-commerce experience audit\" reviewed 40 top retailers across Grocery, Health & Beauty, and Pet and found that 72% of qualified products are missing from retailer search results, nearly 1/3 of retailers are showing one image or less on their product detail pages and 23% of retailers are missing ingredient statements on over half of product detail pages.

Their impact has been compounded by price inflation for retailers and suppliers.
\n\nTo uncover the challenges companies have been facing, NielsenIQ partnered with Coresight Research on a survey of large FMCG retailers and suppliers in North America. Some key research findings include:
\n\n44% are beginning to cope with these challenges through data exchange
\n\n37% say lack of centralized data collaboration platform is a limitation
\n\n51% of suppliers plan to buy data from retailers to improve supply chain management
\n\n\n\n
Read the report, “Discovering Hidden Treasure in Your Supply Chain Data” to learn about the challenges suppliers and retailers currently face, and how they are sharing data and leveraging supply chain solutions as a means to competitive advantage.
