Retail businesses must manage the enormously complex processes of store operations, marketing, and merchandising for maximum performance and profitability. The unique retail challenges of slim margins, global distribution and logistics, intense competition, increasingly demanding customers and personnel turnover and productivity, require an integrated platform for planning and reporting.

With Axiom EPM, retail businesses can easily aggregate and leverage critical data to create the internal framework necessary to adapt to new opportunities and realize maximum profitability. Our flexible solution enables timely and informed decisions for continual improvement to business processes.

Retail companies use Axiom EPM to:

• Improve visibility into key performance trends including consumer buying behaviors, sales forecasts and projections, and KPI’s related to labor, inventory and promotions.
  
  
• Streamline and optimize revenue planning by modeling at the store, product and SKU level.
  
  
• Accommodate sophisticated expense planning methodologies for labor and other cost-of-sales related expenses, including comparisons across stores, by channel and with consideration to other industry related benchmarks.
  
  
• Create rolling forecasts incorporating input from managers at the store and product line level so corrective actions can be taken to achieve projected bottom-line margins.
