SAS^® Transaction Insight for Retail

Analyzing point-of-sale (POS) data leads to vital insights about store and merchandise performance. The key is to use these transaction insights to maximize overall profitability.

SAS Transaction Insight for Retail uses transaction data to answer questions like:

• Which stores are the most profitable outlets for each product category?
• How does demand vary by location and channel?
• What is the transaction volume for any given time period at any store?

By combining store attributes with transaction insight, you can optimize merchandising and marketing decisions ­– everything from assortment planning to inventory replenishment to product placements in store displays.

SAS Transaction Insight for Retail profiles and segments stores based on transaction activity, product classes, unit sales and much more. You can also profile retail outlets based on the demographics of their customers, thereby highlighting subtle variances that can be used to fine-tune merchandise allocation, store staffing and promotions.

With better insights into transactions, you can significantly reduce operational costs. No more inventory languishing in over-stocked storerooms or conspicuously absent from store shelves.
