Key figures for bakeries and butchers: mobile sales analysis and success measurement

Bakeries, butchers and specialist stores work with a focus on success. This includes satisfied customers, increasing sales and motivated employees. Monitoring this is essential, as indicators must be identified and dealt with as quickly as possible. In the craft sector, it is not only the development of good products that counts; today's customers are far more demanding, so that various measures are necessary, but their different effects must be closely monitored.

Good sales staff

Satisfied customers expect a good mix of high product quality, good and fast sales advice and, of course, an attractive price. However, recruiting staff is equally difficult and retaining existing employees is all the more important. Identifying top performers is not always easy, but valuable information on performance can be obtained from checkout data. In addition to a professional appearance towards the customer, additional sales in the context of advice are important in order to exploit sales potential.

Availability of products

Customers also appreciate the availability of products. This is a difficult undertaking, because at the same time remaining stocks should be avoided, as in the worst case they have to be disposed of and cause unnecessary costs. It is therefore important to use precise key figures for good and slow-moving items in production. This not only increases customer satisfaction, but also has a positive impact on price structuring.

Key figures at any time via app

These are just a few examples of the important role that up-to-date key figures play in the efficient management of operations and production. Managers and owners are reliant on these figures, promptly and always at their fingertips. With the ITR Manager app, our customers always have immediate access to the most important information, including sales figures for the locations, sales figures for individual items, the performance of the checkout operators and the historical development for comparison purposes. To ensure they are always up to date, the checkouts provide their sales data in real time in the cloud. At the same time, there are no special requirements for central IT infrastructure, meaning that implementation does not require a high level of investment. A simple smartphone or tablet is all that is needed - quickly and easily.
