“Just add data!” Salient integrates with your existing infrastructure. Each visualization shown here is pre-built with interactive root-cause visual data mining capabilities, recognizes date & time records automatically, and can be directly transitioned from one perspective to the next without having to setup each visual from scratch. The system automatically recognizes your selected date and context as you change from one analytical perspective to the next. Multiple window views can be saved to create a Dashboard style view.
Example:
(1) Evaluate lift and elasticity at a SKU level or brand level; retail chain by retail chain or customer channel by customer channel. Drill-in (filter) then list target SKU’s for de-listing or better promoting.
(2) Track performance over-time vs merchandising objectives to identify if goals in share gain, margin gain, new customer gain and more
Example:
- how has a new brand cannibalized an existing brand.
Example:
(1) Identify how new SKU’s impact sales of existing SKU’s within any selected category
(2) Evaluate how a new placement (customer, shelf-set, brand) impacts sales of others within the same group
Example:
(1) Product lifecycle, showing customer purchases of a SKU or brand over time to track depth of penetration and rate of retrial.
(2) To identify successful and un-successful introduction lists of customers by segment.
(A simple example test – List customers who purchased at least once or didn’t purchase at all.)
Example:
(1) Customer meeting specific margin/profit criteria
(2) Products that were sold last period, but were not sold this period (lost sales)
(3) Customers that purchased a group of certain high-margin products last chosen period, but did not re-purchase at desired volume range this period (gap analysis / voids)
Example Use:
(1) Brand performance within each channel.
(2) Inventory level at each warehouse for each supplier.
Example:
- Classic example is price point range analysis: identify how many units sold in certain price ranges ($10 – 15 per wholesale unit), ($15 – $20), ($20 – $25)… fine-tune price with demand or test new prices. The capability enables listing results from the graph – SKU’s or customers to target-market.
-Other examples: inventory on-hand vs on-order, Retail units sold vs Price to Consumer, quantity sold vs margin
Example:
Plot on a map the impact of how frequency of delivery could save distribution cost
Example Use:
- Begin at a summary view of financials, then use math pointer tools to identify variance (Difference & % Change) or Mix changes. Spot gains or losses this season vs last, by brand, region, sales rep…, then list the target group of SKU’s or Customers.
Example:
- Revenue vs Budget for: This Week, This Month, This Qtr, YTD, all vs last year and all in one consolidated view.
-Isolate problem points in time; jump directly to lists of SKU’s or Customers that stand-out.
Example:
- Perform price vs. quantity relationship comparison for all customers who purchased a specific product
– Plot customers based on volume sold and margin, to identify low-volume and low-margin accounts to target for new trading terms
Example:
- sales by price-point plotted by margin percent
Example:
- chain store activity detail
Example:
- Average sales per store of stores that were open during the same time period last year
Example:
- by customer(product purchases by line item) for specific period of time
*must first be drilled into a key member…example specific customer and/or product
Example:
- asset placement history by customer (which assets are in place over time & historical status
- by asset (which customers over time & historical status)
Example:
- change in region contribution to total sales & volume distribution
Example:
- Regional contributions of total sales
- Margin/Profit contribution by store within a region/area
Technical Description:
Example:
-Bookmark Info Panel – One can use that panel for explanation of purpose, notation of the owner, commenting on observations, training on how to use the starting-point for root-cause analysis.
-Member Info Panel – Attach a picture of the outlet, information about the store manager, comments to others servicing the same account…
-General Info Panel – Provides a data-dictionary that can be used for defining what each measure means, where information is sourced from. It also provides a place to attach over-all solution / company information like training manuals, mission statements, annual plans. Last, it provides a place for each user to define their profile information for collaborating.
