I used to spend up to 20 hours a month analyzing my own data to target mailings and keep track of best selling products. But with Parable taking care of it, my time is freed up to focus on other things.

Inventory Management

Understanding your inventory will help you make better purchasing decisions and improve the efficiency of the supply chain. Using combined sales data from all stores, Parable is able to provide usable reports to improve your inventory mix. All reports can be accessed on MemberNET, our private website for Parable stores.

Parable's 80/20 Report shows you the top 20% of products that generate 80% of the sales group-wide. The 80/20 reports are updated every quarter. Available in more than 30 categories and sub-categories, you can fine tune your book, Bible and music sections to help determine a core inventory for your market.

The Bestsellers Report is based on combined product sales group-wide and includes your store sales and current inventory. It can be customized in a number of ways to give you the information you need, whether it is a general overall report or a specific category report for a specific vendor.
