Introduction to Sales Analysis

WEEKLY ANALYST is our benchmark report that lets manufacturers review their business performance on a simple and easy to use platform. You can review your performance at a variety of levels from SKU to Chain or using your own defined attributes. This reporting tool takes your basic reporting to the next level- showing you not just sales and inventory- but store level execution. It helps you answer the key questions every buyer wants to know- how many stores are sold out, how many stores didn’t sell anything, which stores are performing best, which categories did best and more.  This actionable information can then be exported to a Microsoft Excel document and shared with your organization or buyer. Developing a discipline of finding SKU’s and stores whose inventory levels can be maximized leads to increased sales, sell through and profitability.
