01 What is CPG analytics?
CPG analytics is the practice of reading sales, shelf, and shopper signals to decide what to make, where to sell it, and at what price. Sena, a Decision AI with access to real-world data, adds geo-verified shelf photos and store owner input to the sales data a team already holds, so each answer traces to the outlet behind it.
02 What does CPG stand for?
CPG stands for consumer packaged goods: products people buy often and use up quickly, such as food, drinks, toiletries, and household cleaners. FMCG, fast-moving consumer goods, describes the same category, and consumer goods analytics covers both. Sena runs CPG analytics on shelf, price, and outlet signals in each category.
03 How is data analytics used in the CPG industry?
CPG companies use data analytics to plan assortment, set price, fund promotions, and check that products reach the shelf. Sena joins a team's own files and systems with outlet-level signals: geo-verified photos and store owner input captured in the outlets a question names.
04 How does Sena confirm a product is on the shelf?
Sena captures a geo-verified photo in each outlet a question covers. Computer vision finds the product in the photo, matches it to the SKU, and reads the price tag. A multi-level QA flow checks every capture before it counts.
05 Can Sena cover independent stores and kiosks?
Yes. Sena captures in the outlets a question names, across modern and traditional trade: chains, supermarkets, independent stores, kiosks, and open-market stalls. Sena classifies each outlet by type, so a team reads coverage, price, and listing gaps for one store type or across all of them.
06 What does a store owner tell Sena?
Store owners state why they stock a product or pass on it: margin, credit terms, pack size, delivery timing, or shopper requests. Sena captures those answers with the shelf photo and price tag from the same outlet, so a missing listing comes with its reason.
07 Which systems does Sena connect to for CPG teams?
Sena connects to the systems CPG teams already run across 250+ integrations, including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics, and reads uploaded Excel, CSV, and PDF files. Shelf photos and store owner input join that data, so one answer covers internal sales and the shelf.
