Study #5: Nations Largest
Retailer of Lawn and
Garden Products
Cost Report Accuracy Fix
The Challenge:
With 170 stores in 14 states, this retailer is
currently the largest specialty retailer of lawn and garden products in the
United States. The chain wide average cost (CWAC) needed to be accurate to
get correct profit.
The Solution:
The Great Woods Group team worked with corporate
accounting to define exactly what their chain wide average cost should be.
We then evaluated exactly how JDA® MMS® uses calculated and maintained average
costs. Upon completion of this extensive analysis, we were able to fix the
problem areas associated with miscalculation of CWAC so that it calculated
correctly.
The Results:
This retailer is now getting accurate CWAC information
and accurate reporting. |
