Can it combine store and online sales?

Yes. Sema verifies the joins across your POS, e-commerce and product tables once, so omnichannel questions resolve correctly every time.

How fresh is the data?

Sema queries your warehouse directly (or a read replica), so answers reflect whatever your pipeline has loaded — no stale, hand-built extracts.

Do merchandisers need SQL?

No. They ask in plain English and get a charted answer; analysts curate the governed metrics and verified joins underneath.

Sema

Sema for Retail

Answers across every store, SKU and channel.

Sell-through, inventory, margin and basket — unified across stores and e-commerce and answered in plain English. Merchandisers and ops get the number without waiting on the data team.

the problem

Channels multiply; definitions fragment.

Stores, marketplace and DTC each report sales differently. 'Margin' means three things, inventory is stale by the time it reaches a deck, and nobody trusts the cross-channel roll-up.

use cases

Questions Retail teams ask Sema.

Sell-through & sales

Units and revenue by SKU, store and channel, on one consistent definition.

Inventory & stockouts

On-hand, weeks-of-supply and stockout risk flagged before it costs a sale.

Gross margin

Margin after discounts and returns, defined once so finance and merchandising agree.

Basket & attach

Basket size, attach rates and category mix, joined across order and product data.

how sema solves it

Ask in English. Trust the answer.

Sema learns what every column means and writes the glossary for you.
Define each metric once — it resolves the same way in every answer, report and alert.
Every answer ships with the SQL it ran and the tables it touched.
Sensitive fields are masked or refused by role, and every query is audit-logged.
