The tool targets consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and brokers, aiming to streamline sales and supply-chain analysis by integrating retail data with industry-specific logic and agentic tools. Crisp claims over **7,000 customers**, including **90 of the top 100 CPG companies**, already use its services, though these figures are self-reported.\n\nHalo’s architecture emphasizes **vertical AI**, cleaning and enriching retail data (e.g., retailer calendars, product hierarchies, fill rates) before analysis. It offers two main modules: **Central Desk** for portfolio-wide strategy and **Customer Desk** for retailer-specific decisions. The platform supports conversational queries, recurring reports, workflow automation, and custom applications while ensuring traceability of recommendations to source data. Deployment options include hosted or on-premise setups, with proprietary data remaining within the customer’s environment, though operational logs may be shared with Crisp’s systems.","keyPoints":["Halo runs on Databricks, Snowflake, or Google Cloud for on-premise retail AI analysis","Central Desk and Customer Desk modules target portfolio and retailer-specific decisions","Crisp reports 7,000+ customers, including 90 of the top 100 CPG companies"],"whyItMatters":"Halo lets CPG and retail teams analyze sales/supply-chain data within their existing cloud infrastructure, reducing vendor lock-in and aligning AI outputs with internal governance.
