Profitable items not bought enquiry, All item groups (DIR79501)

This proactive enquiry provides invaluable information about the selling potential of the profitable items in your company that your customer has not bought. By viewing the turnover of item groups, (based on the total gross sales value of all associating items generated by the customer during a 13 month period), as well as the profitable items that your customer has not been buying, you will be able to make more informative decisions about your item sales.

You may have customers that have bought for a substantial amount for a certain item group (i.e. high gross sales value), but when analysing the items that they have not purchased in a 13 month period, those non-purchased items may contribute more to your companies’ total profit. By identifying your most profitable items that a customer never or seldom buys, you will be better equipped to push those items, thereby increasing your companies’ profit.

This enquiry is split into two panels allowing you to analyse the following per customer:

  • This first panel gives an overview of all item groups and with the gross sales value generated by the customer. The default mode when you first access this panel displays all item groups in your database in alphanumerical order. By toggling the view you can sequence the gross sales value in descending order, thereby viewing the item groups with the highest turnover for this customer during the last 13 months (current month + previous 12 months).
  • If DC1 Analyser is installed and activated you can drill down on an item group to view your most profitable items that a customer has not bought in the last 13 months.
