• Market Awareness: Identify and report on key tailwinds, headwinds, product launch performance, and top-selling items across relevant sites.

• Hourly Phasing Curves: Maintain and upload hourly phasing curves for BAU (Business as Usual), Hot Markets, and high-profile product launches to ensure high intra-day accuracy vs financial forecasts.
