1 Overview

A key tenet of Modern Retailing is simplification. And a primary form of simplification within this context is easing the process by which retailers gain insights from their data and take actions in their applications, further expediting insight-to-action loops. After all, from inventory analyst to planner to marketer, many retail roles involve navigating through a wealth of operational and analytical applications, drilling on KPI's, addressing notifications, and more. Web portals exist to bring information from diverse sources together in a uniform way. Oracle Retail users can benefit from a specially designed Web portal that consolidates access to data and applications in a role-specific manner.

In this spirit, Oracle Retail Home has been built as a single access point. This simplifies our users' interactions with the data and applications that are most relevant to their roles, and better empowers them to anticipate informed actions and to inspire engagement.

Based on a robust and flexible portal framework, and populated with thousands of pre-integrated metrics from the Oracle Retail Insights Suite, which incorporates the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning capabilities of Oracle Retail Science Platform, Retail Home is intended first to provide timely and role-specific high-level insights, and second to enable selective drilling into relevant applications for more details.

Upon login, Oracle Retail Home begins with a tile-based dashboard that highlights select KPI's across applications. Note that each login can have multiple roles, and each tile can contain up to five tile states, highlighting different KPIs, displaying graphs, favorite actions and notifications. Tile clicks can launch related applications, potentially with a single sign-on and with context, and you can also expand the tile to reveal deeper insights, including more detailed reports. Each role can have any number and configuration of tiles, and each tile can have any number of states. Tiles can also be configured to be of a larger size, to fit more data.

There is also a configurable side pane. For the side pane, one might, for example, surface reports showing the latest Top 10 items, by margin, sales and units, and by channel. And links, filtered to the latest and most applicable news might be of interest as well.

Oracle Retail Home brings together the most insightful data and applications per role in your retail enterprise, with a sophisticated and flexible, yet simple, user experience.
