Manufacturers and suppliers that sell their goods through Target have access to Target's Partners Online Portal and the online file-sharing portal Kiteworks. This enables suppliers to access their Business Partner Data (BPD), providing them with raw sales and inventory information for their products.
By setting up a connector between Crisp and this portal, you can analyze the data using Crisp's easy-to-use, actionable dashboards or feed that data into any outbound connector.
You can learn more about subscriptions to the Crisp Target Partners Online dashboard here.
