Real-time analytics –getting merchandise to where it can be sold

An omni-channel strategy in fashion retailing makes transparency and efficiency in the flow of merchandise more crucial and the increases the necessity for better coordination among the various channels and the stores. Textile retailers are facing the need to react quickly in terms of merchandise and product range management in order to be able to more rapidly fulfil customer wishes.

Which stores are performing and which are not?

Good management has to match pace with the end customer, who expresses his or her shopping preferences via various distribution channels, is more persuaded by advertising campaigns in specific stores, buys some articles more than others, and sometimes appears to be loyal…and sometimes not. In overseeing a network of 500 or more stores, the top management, controllers and regional decision-makers can leave nothing to chance.

Active store management delivers more than just increase sales and greater customer loyalty. It can also prevent the closing of individual stores.

Detego Retail Reporting and Analytics

Real-time analysis for fast decision-making

Until revenues from previous months are reviewed, evaluated and visualised graphically for presenting the data to the management, it may be already too late.

For logistics, stock transfers between the stores and sales, decision-makers have to immediately have the ability get access to real-time sales data which they can then use as a foundation for making good decisions. Using historical information based on financial data is not the smart way to make profitable decisions.

Only real-time data offers a true picture of which stores are going to make their targets and which are not going to get there. Only real-time data can quickly provide the options for making the right move.

Know which sizes are moving more quickly in which stores

The aim is to bring the merchandise to where it sells best. This necessitates information on revenue per article on item-level (e.g. a blue T-shirt in size 10) as well as the current age structure of the inventory per store or department.

If e.g. more T-shirts in a big size are sold in a particular store, then clearly this size has to be kept in stock in greater numbers. At the same time, the store stockroom can be freed of articles in smaller sizes. Expensive minimal inventory levels can thus be decreased.

Detego InReports dashboards: see what is actually going on

With Detego InReports you get a real-time notification tool that shows actual article availability in real-time as well as the restocking situation and the aging structure of the articles. The software interprets customer cluster data, e.g. sizes and colours per geographical region. Gained information from complex algorithms is transformed into attractive dashboards that provide decision-makers with easy-to-use recommendations for actions to take.

The analysis is visually formatted using a traffic light system. Thanks to its analytic notifications, Detego InReports thus provides you with an efficient instrument for long-term oversight and planning.

Roles

Regional sales managers, top management, controllers and merchandise planners profit from Detego InReports

„Our experience with customers shows that real-time analyses are instrumental for fashion retailer so that they can prevent decreased margins. Brand name manufacturers with a network of several hundred stores have to be able to react more quickly. They want to have the information in the planning phase concerning which article variants they should allot to which stores, because they already know that these articles are selling best in those locations. The successful retailer leaves nothing to chance. It’s about active management. That was the motivation for us in developing Detego InReports.”
