Information Management at the Central Site
MSS Plannung and Control supports the buying and the sales department in analysing and planning. The program is especially designed in analysing promotions and store performance.
Complex analyses can be performed without special knowledge about the technique behind it, like:
- Finding critical areas that need management attention
- Collect of all data for a single item like: turnover, gross revenue, prices, and buying conditions
MSS planning
MSS-Plan is an extension to MSS. Data from merchandise movements and statistical data is collated with the base data. A data warehouse concept allows the user to generate a consolidated overview and analysis of all relevant data. In this way business areas that need management attention are readily identified.
Assessing promotions
The program calculates short term results and generates analysis reports for different levels:
- Store: turnover and number of customers by the day
- Department / Group: turnover, gross revenue, stock, inventory differences
- Items: turnover, gross revenue, stock, inventory differences, losses (by day and week, last date sold, last stock take), resolution of displays
- Suppliers: assortment, buying price per item for muliple suppliers
- POS and scales: all receipts for any period.
The results can be presented in tabular format, graphically or in printed reports. For short response times the raw data is compacted at the levels, enterprise, store, department and group.
Enterprise Planning
For active auditing problem areas are analysed and possible ways to improve the situation will be presented. In the short term result analysis the monthly planning figures are compared to the actual results. Sales data can be planned per store. This data will be compacted into monthly planned turnover figures.
The planning of costs is based on planned key figures, they can be broken down to DB2 level.
