Morrisons named account data is released for the first time and is available now from IRI

Bracknell, UK, May 21, 2008 — Information Resources, Inc. (IRI) today announced the release of Morrisons named account data. This data will give suppliers the chance to work in partnership with Morrisons.

Morrisons suppliers can really benefit from access to the powerful insight that named account data provides and ultimately maximise their product performance and profitability. A clearer view of the market provides a fantastic opportunity to forge and strengthen closer working relationships.

“Morrisons has supplied data to IRI since 2005 and I’m delighted that the relationship has now been extended with the release of named account data,” said Kirsty Harris-Clarke, UK Retail Services Director, IRI. “This is a fantastic opportunity for manufacturing suppliers to increase their own product sales and at the same time add value to the Morrisons business”

Named account data is used to track new product launches and promotions. Manufacturers will be able to improve sales, remove slow moving lines, identify out-of-stock situations and gain valuable insight into the Morrisons store.
