New York – November 05, 2026 -- Datavations has launched Store Test Tracker, a tool that more than 15 manufacturers already use to detect new SKU tests in as few as 10-20 stores at Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards and other home improvement retailers.
Tracker follows limited-distribution SKUs from test to expansion or discontinuation
The tool applies Datavations' daily, store-level SKU-grain data to flag products in limited distribution. It then follows them through testing, expansion, stall or discontinuation. Suppliers can compare the sales velocity and volume of each test SKU against similar SKUs in the set. They can also measure category growth and impact across brands in test stores against the rest of the chain.
