Case Study: Premium Wine Distributor Improves Performance with DiAnalyst
This company is the third largest and fastest growing premium wine distributor. They are located in the United States with offices in the state of California. As a distributor of premium wines with the “fastest selling” SKU, they were challenged with a requirement from the national retail chain, Target, to improve product performance or continue to lose additional sales opportunities.
The Challenge: More Business Was So Close, Yet Out Of Reach
How can a company have the number one selling product yet underperform in the retailer’s eyes? The premium wine distributor’s challenge stemmed from multiple areas that restricted their ability to effectively act on the retailer and consumer demands.
The retail buyer had become aggravated with the poor results from Key Performance Indicators revealing that products were not consistently available for consumer purchase. Strong evidence existed of consumer demand for the premium wine product lines. However, the sales reps assigned to Target could not work with the retailer information that could help them execute effectively. They could not easily and quickly find where they were out of stock from analyzing the retailer’s weekly In-Stock Percentage Report. “We were missing out on additional opportunities with the retailer,” commented Erik, the State Chain Executive for the premium wine the regional program before we could earn wider distribution.”
The Solution: DiAnalyst Delivers Results
DiAnalyst is a hosted reporting solution that maintains a set of standard reports for product and inventory analysis. It can identify areas for maximum product sales and enable quick decision making DiAnalyst, DiCentral was able to quickly accommodate the supplier reporting demands.
The sales reps for the premium wine distributor are now able to quickly identify issues that may exist with shelf distribution. The In-Stock Percentage Report can be quickly filtered to identify specific items by store, area or any location to assess the shelf distribution status. Erik commented, “We started at the in-stock percentage ratio of 74% in Jan 07. With the DiAnalyst tools we were able to expedite our performance to 90%. This got the attention of the retailer Target. They recently awarded my company with the Most Improved Distributor Award.”
After the company’s implementation of DiAnalyst, Erik was able to improve the buying relationship and pursue promotional opportunities with Target. Erik assured effective promotion management to the buyer by showing the DiAnalyst report on weekly sales and inventory status. Erik stated, “It was easy to prove our case when they could see a 30% improvement in the in-stock percentage ratio and current weekly reports that display promotional and non- promotional inventory status.”
Conclusion: The DiAnalyst is a robust, cost effective reporting solution that provides an efficient method of obtaining sales data. Reports are automatically available on a scheduled or on-demand basis. The system is maintained by DiCentral, eliminating the requirement for additional resources. Erik concludes, “Once we set up DiAnalyst it started delivering results - automatically.”
