Cost breakdown by SKU

The system breaks down cost into components: purchasing, logistics, storage, promotions, staff. This helps identify which products are becoming too expensive and need a review of the purchasing or assortment strategy.

Promotion and discount analytics

Every promotion and discount is analyzed for its impact on margin. The system shows where promotions increase sales and where they turn a product unprofitable. This helps marketing and purchasing work in sync.

Optimizing purchase prices

Cost and purchasing trend data provide leverage in supplier negotiations. Managers can lower purchase prices and keep category margins at an acceptable level.
