Business Intelligence for Retail
In retail, having store, e-commerce and wholesale channels meet in a single stock pool requires functions to work with accurate, real-time, channel-agnostic data. Business intelligence integrated with Microsoft Power BI. View your ERP data on dashboards; monitor finance, sales, production and inventory performance in real time, and base decisions on data with role-specific reports.
Retail context
Why Business Intelligence works differently in Retail
In Retail, omnichannel retail center on sector-specific concepts such as SKU management, store-e-commerce-wholesale channel, price and campaign. In retail, having store, e-commerce and wholesale channels meet in a single stock pool requires functions to work with accurate, real-time, channel-agnostic data.
Qera ERP's Business Intelligence module is set up around how the retail sector works: Tracks revenue, margin and stock turnover by channel, store and SKU on dashboards.
- When store, online and wholesale stock is kept separately, the same product sells out in one place while sitting idle in another.
- When campaigns, discounts and price changes are updated by hand across channels, inconsistency and errors appear.
- When customer purchase history is scattered, loyalty and repeat-sale opportunities are missed.
