Retail quickstart

Get a Retail workspace answering questions in under ten minutes. When you pick "Retail" during onboarding, Sema installs the Retail semantic pack so the glossary already speaks your language.

1. Pick your sector

On the onboarding wizard choose Retail. This loads draft glossary terms and governed metric candidates such as:

• Net Sales
• Same-Store Sales Growth
• Average Basket Size
• Inventory Turn
• Shrink Rate

2. Connect data (or explore the demo)

Connect a Postgres source, or click “Explore demo data” to load the bundled sample warehouse. Discovery profiles your schema and generates audit-grade definitions.

3. Promote pack terms

Open Glossary, filter by the “business” kind, review the draft terms and promote the ones you use to Active. Do the same for metrics under Semantics → Metrics.

4. Ask your first question

What were same-store sales by region last quarter?

Sema plans the SQL grounded in your glossary and verified joins, runs it read-only, and auto-charts the answer.
