The Austin, Texas-based supernatural is employing the platform to analyze sales and operational data at its 275 stores in North America and the United Kingdom. BI users throughout the company are using MicroStrategy for detailed insights into product sales. Additionally, Whole Foods has enabled its suppliers and vendors to view sales data for their particular product lines via a MicroStrategy-based application.
