Margin analysis

Per customer, article and salesperson, against standard price, with what lacks data openly reported.

How you work it in Colleag

  1. 1

    Ask: where do we make money, and where not?

  2. 2

    The colleague reads invoices and orders against the calculated prices.

  3. 3

    Review: margin per customer, article and salesperson, with the outliers.

  4. 4

    Decide on prices or calculations; update in the business system.

A worked example

“Which customers and articles drag the margin down?”

The margin broken down per customer, article and salesperson against standard price, outliers on top and the rows without a standard price reported separately so they never look like a hundred percent.

The material

  • Invoice rows with prices
  • Calculated prices from the article register
  • Order and customer data

You approve

Everything the colleague produces is a proposal with sources. Nothing is published, sent or saved to the archive without a human approving it, and every figure traces to its material.
