ChainDrive Retail Merchandise Planning Software “Intelligent” Size & SKU Analysis
Using its unique built-in “conditional” queries, ChainDrive’s intelligent size and SKU analysis understands the impact of obtaining skewed results due to stock-outs in a size, making it an intuitive and valuable retail store analytical tool. ChainDrive snap-shots (captures) size and/or SKU 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.
Best Merchandising Software – Advanced Allocation
Control over product allocation, especially in a replenishment environment, is critical to sales maximization and markdown minimization. ChainDrive provides retail merchandising 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.

Retail Price / Cost Calculators
