POS Reporting for Beauty, Skin Care, and Fragrance Vendors
The beauty category is complex and ever changing with new fragrances, new technology in skincare, and nearly constant promotions. To stay on top of how your products are performing at retail and ensure the right inventory is available at the right store at the right time takes tremendous skill and attention to detail.
Beauty vendors face a number of challenges in collecting and analyzing retail POS data:
Data is often available in multiple formats from the same retailer which requires time consuming administrative work to consolidate and prepare for reporting.
Promotions frequently run for a portion of a week but POS data is often summarized by week.
Beauty consultants and trainers working in stores need simple access to current sales and inventory reports.
Retailers do not always provide a complete set of data. On hand and dollars sold are often not included.
Retailers provide data via a portal which requires the vendor to sign on and download data files.
We have extensive experience working with beauty vendors to overcome these challenges. We know how to work with data files in all the various formats that retailers like Macy’s, Dillard’s, Sephora, and Nordstrom provide. And we know how to integrate your item catalog, shipping data, mark down information and other key files for a comprehensive reporting solution. With Accelerated Analytics, you will have more timely reporting in a consistent format available to any user with an internet connection, iPad or iPhone. Your planners will be able to focus on the business instead of making spreadsheets. Plus you will have door / UPC level reporting. Talk about powerful.
