Availability 

Measuring availability is one of the key performance indicators used by nearly all retailers, its almost an obsession and quite rightly so. Competition is no longer just between retailers sharing the same high st market, but it is now a battle with those online stores who are now competing in the same market. Customers will simply not wait for a store to get a line replenished, they have so much more choice at there disposal. For this reason availability is fundamental to the success of your business. 

Again, the importance and integrity of the data is essential.

So how do we help?

There are a number of ways to view availability the most common measures we look at are;

• On shelf availability 
  
• DC availability  
  
• Order fulfillment.

Often a business will apply the same level of importance to range lines as to key lines, the net result of which is poor allocation and priority placed on resolving availability issues. We show businesses how to get to the more business critical data from there reporting. We demonstrate ways to improve the visibility and reporting of key lines and help setup robust process to manage these changes.
