What Particl is
Particl watches the retail market from the outside. It tracks competitor sales signals, prices and promotions, and classifies the data so a category team can read it without a data project.
It is external market view, not your own numbers.
What you can do with it
- Track competitor sales and promotion activity
- Watch price changes across a category
- Query top sellers and fast-growing brands
- Look for unmet category demand
- Support pricing decisions with market context
Who it is for

- Estimates and classifications carry error margins
- Supply chain and cost accounting stay with you
- Coverage depends on the markets tracked
