Bedrock Analytics is the first analytics platform to harmonize data from the entire CPG ecosystem--including retailers, syndicated data, and point of sale systems--and automatically surface insights about a CPG product's sales, competitive trends and overall market opportunities. The Bedrock platform levels the playing field for CPG companies that don't have endless resources and armies of analysts, by using machine learning algorithms and insight automation tools to distill complex data into what matters most to sales, marketing, analytics and executive teams.

Bedrock originally joined the Nielsen Connect Partner Network in late 2019. Through this program, Nielsen delivers data to Bedrock, which Bedrock then analyzes using its advanced machine-learning platform. The Nielsen Connect Partner Network is the industry's largest open ecosystem of tech-driven solution providers for retailers and manufacturers in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry.
