Leading Basics Manufacturer, KitchenAid, Selects the Edifice POS Information Services to Deliver Timely
Sales and Inventory Information
It is essential that a basics manufacturer such as KitchenAid maintain optimal inventories at store locations and has
the ability to perform trending analysis based on consumer demand. Edifice POS Information Services will provide
Kitchen Aid with this key element.
KitchenAid will now have sales and inventory information from all of their retailer's store locations. Subsequently they
will be able to correct inefficiencies through additional shipments or markdown monies. The Edifice Service will also
report months of sales history to allow Kitchen Aid to perform detailed trending analysis and plan for next year's
production.
"The difference between a fashion supplier and a basics supplier like Kitchen Aid is that fashion suppliers typically
ship one large order at the beginning of a season while basics suppliers will continually ship throughout the season.
Because of this, basics suppliers need a tool to effectively manage stock levels in the stores they supply to. We provide
this to Kitchen Aid every week in our POS Reports,” stated Edifice Business Intelligence Manager, Richard Perrin.
Edifice Services give retail suppliers a competitive advantage with point-of-sale data collected from their retailers.
Suppliers have the ability to customize their reports using item and location attributes important to their company.
Edifice provides detailed sales and inventory information on a supplier's products at the corporate, division and store
level. And, Edifice helps suppliers make sense of this complex information by presenting it in a way that is simple to
understand.
Suppliers can choose from numerous reports in the Edifice Report Library including: Retailer Sales Comparison, Divisional
Sales Comparison, Store Stock-out Exposure, Store Stock-to-Sales Analysis, Product Shipped-not-Selling, Markdown Exposure,
Best Selling Product, Climate Analysis, Mall Analysis and many more.
