About this data source
SKUtrak collects data from Waitrose through the Waitrose Connect portal. On a daily basis, data is gathered at the estate level each morning, providing up-to-date information for analysis.

Additionally, weekly store-level data is collected once a week, offering a broader overview of store performance. While estate-level data is updated daily, the store-level data is more limited, with updates available at the daily level and a weekly overview provided for deeper insights. This combination ensures that SKUtrak has access to both real-time and periodic performance data from Waitrose.

FAQs

Q: Why is depot level service data not currently available for Waitrose?

A: Depot-level service data is not currently available in the portal data that SKUtrak collects.

 

Q: Why is supplier access limited to the portal?
A: Supplier access is limited to the portal due to account restrictions that require direct access, which may incur additional charges. The portal is not open access to suppliers, so suppliers need to liaise with Waitrose to discuss available access options.
