42 Technologies

Managed retail data and analytics platform that unifies data sources into one warehouse

Visit 42 Technologies

42 is a managed retail data and analytics platform for brands that unifies data sources into a single data warehouse with a retail semantic layer, giving teams and AI tools a consistent set of numbers to work from. It addresses the problem of scattered, inconsistent reporting across ecommerce, POS, wholesale, marketplace, ERP, and marketing systems.

Data is delivered through 42's own BI dashboard, warehouse mirrors, scheduled Excel reports, and an MCP server that connects structured retail data to AI platforms such as Claude, Copilot, and ChatGPT. The platform includes built-in retail metrics, custom KPIs, NRF calendars, product and store hierarchies, multiple currencies, and flash report automation. Integrations cover Shopify, NetSuite, Magento, WooCommerce, Amazon, Walmart, various POS and traffic systems, and other sources.

42 is aimed at product, digital, retail, and other teams across ecommerce, DTC, omnichannel, retail, B2B, and agency contexts. It is packaged in three editions — Made-to-Measure, Bespoke, and Couture — with a published starting monthly rate for the entry tier and contact-based pricing for the higher tiers; plans vary by data sources, order volume, user seats, and included features, with custom plans for multi-brand groups and agencies.
