From AI-ready to AI-activated retail data.
Consolidating legacy POS, loyalty, and inventory systems does more than cut cost — it's the data unification step every retail AI initiative depends on. Solix operates both ends of the journey on the same governed data — nothing moves, nothing is re-governed, to get from readiness to activation.
Stage 1 · AI-Ready
CDP · EDG
Legacy POS, ERP, and HCM systems retired and preserved, payment and loyalty data masked to PCI DSS and CCPA standards, and inventory records governed — the foundation auditors and payment-card assessors expect before any AI initiative starts.
Stage 2 · AI-Activated
Data Lake Plus · Data Ask
That same governed POS, loyalty, and inventory data activates as the input for personalization and demand forecasting — with Data Ask's plain-English query built for merchandising teams, not just IT.
Four use cases driving Solix engagements.
Legacy POS, ERP & HCM retirement
Systems accumulated through growth, M&A, and regional expansion decommissioned across brands and geographies, with governed historical access preserved.
PCI DSS & CCPA data masking
Payment card and loyalty program data masked to PCI DSS and CCPA standards in every non-production and analytics environment.
Transaction & inventory archiving
Transaction and inventory history consolidated without keeping every legacy system live purely for reporting access.
AI-ready foundation for personalization
Data Lake Plus unifies POS, loyalty, and inventory data as the governed foundation Data Ask turns into personalization and demand-forecasting answers for merchandising teams.
Built for retail's regulatory reality.
PCI DSS compliance
Payment card data masked and governed across every non-production and analytics environment — with only 14.3% of organizations now fully PCI DSS compliant, industry-wide, Solix keeps it built in, not bolted on.
CCPA & loyalty data privacy
Loyalty program and customer data protected to CCPA standards, with masking applied consistently wherever the data lives.
Vendor & franchise governance
ECS governs vendor contracts, franchise agreements, and supplier documents with the same compliance controls as transaction data.
Multi-region, multi-brand residency
Region- and brand-specific retention policies applied automatically across systems inherited through M&A and international expansion.
Proven at global scale.
A multi-billion-dollar restaurant brand's global application modernization shows the pattern: legacy HCM and financial systems retired in phases across APAC, EMEA, and the US, without losing the historical access compliance and reporting depend on.
Billions
In annual revenue managed through Solix's phased global application retirement work — HCM systems first, then financial applications across the US, Europe, and Canada.
14.3%
Of organizations are fully PCI DSS compliant today — a sharp decline versus 2020, and a gap most retailers are carrying unknowingly.
$4.88M
Average cost of a data breach, with 74% of incidents linked to human error — exactly what consistent masking is built to close.
