The present invention relates to a system and method for a retail collaboration network platform. In some embodiments, the system and method for a retail collaboration network platform includes a portal which the user is able to log in to via a network. The system includes connectivity to a plurality of retailer and vendor analytic tools. These analytic tools may include tools for promotion analysis, price optimization, product assortment, and market analysis. In addition to analytic tools, the platform may include collaborative tools which may interface with the analytic tools.
