Understanding the Results
The insights available within these reports allow you to understand and forecast product needs and popularity.
- For example, in the chart Next 6 Months Products Scheduled, you can see that you will need 21 Yoga Goody Bags and 4 Smoothie mixes.
- This allows you to forecast your product needs and ensure you have enough products for Scheduled Orders.
- In the chart Scheduled Orders by Product Status, we see that many orders containing Yoga Goody Bag have failed. This may indicate an issue with product availability.
- If these Scheduled Orders are failed due to product availability issues (such as processing error 1001) you may want to review your inventory management or your product availability processes.
- Furthermore, the Product Popularity chart provides insight into what products are popular for Autoship Cloud.
- This can be used for marketing campaigns!
