Optional

Gross Margin Return on Inventory (GMROI) Optional #

Know which stock earns its shelf space

Reports sales, margin, cost of sales, average inventory level at landed cost, stock turns and GMROI, summarised by main category, sub-category, supplier, brand or item, with a graph tab. Margin is (sales minus cost of sales) divided by sales; turns are cost of sales divided by average inventory level.

Product Demand and Delivery Status Optional #

See demand and what is still coming

Product Demand reports demand over a range of book months by category, supplier and department; the Delivery Report shows delivery status over the same month range for a range of categories and suppliers, both with an include-returns option.

Size Matrix sales analysis Optional #

See which sizes and colours sell

Reports sales for items that share a part number but differ by size, colour or weight, searched from the Part Find window's Matrix tab and displayed as a size-by-style grid for a date range.

Top Item Sales ranking Optional #

Know our best-selling lines by units

Ranks items by units sold from a start date over a set number of complete weeks, with the option to include items with no sales and to cap the list at the top N. Partial weeks are excluded so averages are not distorted.

Weekly Sales and weeks-of-supply Optional #

See how many weeks of stock remain

Shows a configurable number of complete weeks with weekly average units and dollars, weeks of supply based on calculated unit sales per week, available quantity and cost, committed quantity and stock on order, filtered by supplier, category and department.
