The latest new development in TRIMS is designed to give retailers the information they need in the buying decision making process.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The new Sales Forecasting Report gives TRIMS users visibility of what they have already committed to a supplier. It does this by taking into account current stock and what they have on order (in purchase orders)\u00a0to give the total commitment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Users can then select a projected sales period from the previous season or allocated amount of time to assess. Projected sales can be taken off the total commitments to give a projected stock buy. This figure is either negative, indicating the need to buy more for next season, or positive, suggesting the user buy less stock for next season.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
The report also offers flexibility in that there is an average unit cost and retail value, as well as three\u00a0extra user-defined sales periods, for the retailer to select for extra information. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
In a nutshell<\/h2>\n
The report calculates:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Current Stock + On Order Stock – Projected Sales = Projected Stock Buy<\/span><\/p>\n
