Retail and Distribution
Retail environments need to measure and monitor almost every aspect of their performance, including initial markup, maintained markup, contribution margin, and same store sales. Growth from new stores should be monitored weekly, if not daily. Profitability management at all levels - product, department, store - is key. Managing inventory turns is an essential component of cash flow management as is having proper inventory levels and programs to manage obsolete inventory. Having a firm grasp of all of the pieces is critical to bottom line profits.
