Dedicated data engineering for mid-market retailers
Sell-through data consolidation, built and managed for you.
We design, build, and operate production-grade sell-through pipelines, consolidation, and governance, turning scattered channel data into a clean, reliable foundation your team can query and act on.
The problem
Sound familiar?
Your data lives in 15 tools. Your decisions live in the dark.
- Takealot in one portal. POS in another. Wholesale in spreadsheets.
- Simple questions take half a day to answer.
- It’s not a stock problem. It’s a visibility problem.
You tried consolidating in Excel. Then reality hit.
- Ten spreadsheets. Ten different formats. Every week.
- You still need someone just to keep the numbers current.
- Built for one person’s logic, not a growing retail operation.
You hired a data person. You still can’t see sell-through.
- Analysts build reports, not the pipelines behind them.
- One person can’t maintain pipelines across stores and channels.
- Internal teams cost more and deliver less than dedicated specialists.
The solution

Our specialist team builds and operates your complete sell-through data layer, including ingestion, consolidation, governance, and monitoring, so your organisation gets clean, reliable, queryable data without building the capability in-house. Dashboards, stock insights, and better buying decisions follow from a foundation you can trust.

What our clients say
Real results from real retailers
Before Hypr, our buying team spent two days every week pulling sell-through data from six channels into spreadsheets. Now we have live dashboards that update automatically. We’ve reallocated that time to actually managing stock.
We needed visibility across our data without the overhead of building it ourselves. Every week without it was costing us. Hypr had us live in four weeks at a fraction of what an in-house build would have cost, and we didn’t need a single engineer to manage it.
What started as a sell-through dashboard has grown into a company-wide retail analytics platform. Hypr’s team evolves our infrastructure as we scale. It’s like having an entire data department without the headcount.
The process
From scattered sell-through data to clear insights in weeks
A proven process refined across dozens of retail engagements. Your first tailored demo ships in days. Most retailers have production sell-through reporting within five weeks.
A diagnostic worth having, even if you stop here
We map every sell-through source, interview buying and ops leads, and deliver a prioritised roadmap with quick wins: a standalone deliverable your team can act on, whether or not you move forward with Hypr.
Your first tailored demo in days, actionable insights in weeks
A working demo tailored to your retail data within the first week. Weekly walkthroughs, full transparency, no surprises. Most retailers are in production within five weeks.
Your team tests, verifies, and signs off
Your team reviews the dashboards, checks sell-through against POS, and verifies the numbers match. We don’t go live until you’re confident the data is right.
A long-term partnership that scales with your stores
We monitor 24/7, resolve issues before they reach you, and evolve your platform as you grow. New stores, new channels, and new integrations, all from your managed retail data department.

Three paths to sell-through analytics. One doesn’t need a data team.
Every approach has trade-offs. Here’s what each one actually costs, how long it takes, and what it demands from your team.

Your retail data security is non-negotiable
Every layer of our infrastructure is built to protect your most sensitive data. No shortcuts.

AES-256 Encryption
All data is encrypted in transit via TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256, the same standard used by banks and government agencies. Encryption keys are managed through a dedicated key management service with automatic rotation.
