Merchandising

Buy Smarter

Most merchandising leaders have perfected the art of negotiation. But gaining the necessary visibility into true product costs and margins at the supplier, category and item level is another matter altogether. Trust us to help you reach wider, dig deeper and act faster to improve your data visibility and ensure all contract terms are met.

Improve Purchasing Decisions

The product you’re buying overseas could be the same one you’re buying locally – only you don’t know it. You may be missing out on a bulk discount and paying different prices for each. We ensure you match products and equivalents – item to item. With better visibility into true product costs and margins by supplier, category and product – across regions and markets – you’ll be empowered to negotiate the best terms possible.

Face These Merchandising Business Challenges Head-On

Actual Cost Paid

Once initial negotiations are made, product costs need to be tracked through the entire source-to-pay cycle. Processes can vary significantly, and we can help capture each change or variance, arming you with data that’s key to future negotiations.

Inventory Level Margin

When you approach margins at a supplier or category level, you lose visibility of funding at the SKU level. Trust us to dig deep into your data, thoroughly analyzing your margins at the individual SKU level to identify high-risk and underperforming inventory.

Outdated Technology

Legacy systems don’t often provide visibility into negotiations that take place outside of the system on contracts or via electronic communication such as employee email. We quickly pull together your various unstructured data sources to provide full visibility into true costs, ultimately improving your negotiations.
