| August 21, 2008 | | Watch this map movie, and see how tracking weather and inventory helps you increase sales. | As you watch the mini-movie below, imagine that your company sells something like umbrellas, for which sales is very weather-dependent. On the map, the red dots are all of the WalMart stores that sell your umbrellas, and the the blue shading represents rain.
The movie starts with a weather forecast 8 days in the future, and moves through days 9 and 10. You can see which of your stores will have at least one day of rain, as well as which stores -- these turn to yellow dots at the end -- have three days of rain in the coming week.
With Awhere CPG TM, you are one more click away from seeing a visual of your umbrella inventory at each of the wet stores. You can also see neighboring stores with excess inventory (high days-on-hand) to quickly optimize your inventory balance to the needy stores.
