Improving merchandising and promotion effectiveness

TransAccess SupplierConnect enables you to give your suppliers access to historical and real-time transaction data. With this data and web-based sales reporting tools, your suppliers have what they need to leverage their experience working with a large number of retail operations to improve the effectiveness of your merchandising and promotions.

Benefits

• Significantly improve repeat promotions - suppliers can analyze historical data to see what has and hasn’t worked in the past, then use these findings to improve future performance.

• Improve sell through during a promotion by allowing suppliers to track how well promoted items are selling in real time so they can fix problems, such as out-of-stocks or distribution voids

• Improve promotion effectiveness - your suppliers can help you make the most of vendor promotions by finding out quickly if promoted products are not selling and ensuring that you’re complying with the terms of the promotion

• Optimize displays - by analyzing sales results for different types of displays, suppliers can determine which works best for a particular product
