Menards

As one of the three largest home improvement chains and the single largest private retailer in the United States, Menards sell floor coverings, hardware, millwork, paint and tools, as well as operating full-service lumberyards in its 205 stores in the Midwest.

Menards has deployed a Teradata Data Warehouse, Teradata Retail Decisions software and the Teradata Retail Logical Date Model. Menards cited the rapid installation time other retailers have experienced with Teradata and the scalability of the technology as reasons behind the decision. Menards previously used a series of data marts that often supplied inaccurate or out-of-date information.

"We selected Teradata's solutions after a thorough evaluation because they will help us meet our goals of consolidating data to provide a single version of the truth and because of their powerful business intelligence applications," said Charlie Menard, Chief Operating Officer at Menards.
