measurement of retail inventory

An accurate view into retail inventories

Manufacturer’s lack of visibility into retail inventories is undermining solid business and financial planning. Today’s pharmaceutical professionals require accurate measures across all channels.

Measure retail inventory

Quantify actual inventory levels across the entire pipeline: wholesale, retail, mail-order and LTC channels; understand inventory change by channel and by downstream customer.

Benchmark syndicated demand

Compare actual pharmacy and institution purchases against popular national and sub-national syndicated data sets from Wolters-Kluwer®, IMS Health® and SDI/Verispan®.

Increase long-term forecast accuracy

Apply precise, channel-level data error factors to TRx data; adjust forecasting for changing purchase patterns at large retail, mail and institutional accounts.

Monitor order volatility

Spot inventory builds and burns of products by channel and chain to optimize financial impacts of pricing actions and reduce exposure to pipeline fluctuations.
