Retail Insights, LLC

Retail Insights, LLC is a privately held data and business-intelligence company serving consumer packaged goods manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, and distributors. Founder and CEO Bob Candelora started the business in 2009, drawing on experience in retail merchandising, category management, finance, and pharmacy operations.

The company aggregates sales and inventory data from multiple sources and delivers dashboards, standardized reports, market-basket analysis, category-performance tools, and distribution tracking through a web-based platform. Its strongest niche is simplifying fragmented CPG data so suppliers and retail operators can compare performance, identify gaps, and make decisions using a shared view of the business.

Retail Insights is particularly relevant for students interested in analytics, category management, retail operations, data integration, and client-facing business intelligence rather than general-purpose enterprise software.
