Ace Hardware

Ace Hardware Corporation has witnessed outstanding financial performance and robust growth in recent years, mostly due to technology. Ace relies on an Enterprise Data Warehouse from Teradata, which has provided a single repository for retail and wholesale sales, customer information, purchasing, inventory, financial data, and the performance to support large and varied workloads.

Just one year after Ace Hardware's Teradata Warehouse entered service, an ROI review found that the system exceeded a list of 63 business goals by hundreds of percentage points and achieved a 2,000%+ ROI. These advancements included a $1.03 increase in the average retail transaction value, an increase of 1 same customer visit/year, and a retail price margin increase in three Ace departments. The combined power of Ace's Teradata Warehouse and Customer Relationship Management applications helped gain the company a total annual revenue boost of $85 million from these three factors alone.
