Advanced Allocation

Control over product allocation, especially in a replenishment environment, is critical to sales maximization and markdown minimization. ChainDrive provides tools that go far beyond the typical min-max settings used by most retail management competitors. Utilizing formula based methodologies, coupled with the ability to limit and/or disallow replenishment down to the SKU-Store level, is what sets ChainDrive apart.

Analysis and Reporting

ChainDrive offers extensive reporting and analytical tools that empower your users with multiple views and outputs of products, purchases, suppliers, and style performance. When it comes to keeping track and making sense of products, purchases, suppliers, sales performance, and related actions necessary to drive your business, ChainDrive delivers. Derived from the systems’ integrated database, crucial and relevant data is available on demand.

“Intelligent” Size Analysis

Using its unique built-in “conditional” queries, ChainDrive’s intelligent size analysis understands the impact of obtaining skewed results due to stock-outs in a size, making it an intuitive and valuable analytical tool. ChainDrive snap-shots (captures) size performance throughout the life of the product and selects instances of stock-by-size and amasses them into a clear and accurate result of true size performance, providing real and accurate size analysis.

Cost Calculators

The system’s integrated formula-based land cost calculator allows the user to create unlimited preset landed cost formulas that, once created, can be used repeatedly for any product order, greatly increasing the accuracy of landed cost estimates and enabling better control over retail price setting and maintenance of your desired IMU (initial markup).
