Planned Products
What' are Planned Products?
You’re planning new product launches in the dark.
You work hard creating new products, but planning each launch feels like guessing.
How do you know how much to order for a new product? Without purchase history to base yourself off of, you don’t know how much to order from your suppliers. Different members of your team have contradicting opinions on how much a new product will sell.
You aren’t sure what data should guide your decision-making and you order too much or too little of new products. When you order too little, you give your customers a negative brand experience whereas, when you order too much, your cash flow is compromised. Either way, this costs your business a lot and your working capital isn’t used optimally.
