What does it mean for your company?

Difficulty in measuring the real margin by type of product
Assortment decisions are based on volume, not profitability.
-
Oversized assortment with low turnover
Excess references complicate replenishment and take up profitable space.
-
Lack of differentiation between own and external brands
Profitability is diluted due to lack of segmented data.
How Imperia SCP solves it

Contribution dashboard products
The dashboards integrate margin, rotation and coverage, identifying the products with the highest contribution per store.

Optimal mix

Low visibility on incidents in orders or deliveries
Stores do not receive real-time information about delays or breakages.
