▪ Sell-In/Sell-Out Comparison Report: Provides an overview of sell-in and sell-out volumes based on a common unit
of measure and shows how the retailer’s stock builds up and reduces over time.

progressing and to discuss upcoming and completed activities such as trade promotions. It is important that a KAM
can access key information on the plan from a retailer’s perspective. This includes data such as retailer profit and
retailer margin. Typically, the retailer uses a formula to calculate his margin that is different from the one the
manufacturer uses. Sell-out data is also very important for this scenario.
▪ Trade Promotion Details: In consumer products industries, the KAM needs an overview of the planned promotion
and, following execution of the promotion, a comparison between planned and actual values. The KAM also needs to
be able to see the key promotion details quickly in a compact format. Filtering by shelf or list prices, applied
merchandizing tactics, or KPIs is also required for reporting purposes. After the promotion has been executed,
information on how the promotion performed (planned vs. actual) is also needed.
