SAS® Markdown Optimization
Tight profit margins and intense competitive pressures require that retailers maximize the returns from their end-of-season and end-of-life merchandise. But markdowns are often taken at the wrong time, on the wrong items and at the wrong locations. Moreover, such markdowns tend to be priced either too low, resulting in lower margin; or too high, resulting in lost revenues and leftover inventory.
To optimize markdowns, retailers need a reliable way to predict the impact of markdowns before they are executed, determine the best time for markdowns, and monitor the performance of past and ongoing markdown activities against financial and operational goals.
Optimize markdown activities
SAS Markdown Optimization provides retailers the ability to determine which items should be marked down, by how much they should be marked down, when, and in which markets or stores. Retailers can base this analysis on critical factors such as inventory levels, base sales volume, price elasticity and local demand or preferences. With this solution you can develop and implement optimum pricing strategies at the local market level to maximize revenues and profitability while meeting end-of-season inventory goals.
