In the past, retailers have had no way of verifying the credit owed to them by their suppliers at any given time period for all of their stores. Whilst they may have their own data, they do not have data broken down to a line and copy level. Retailers know that they are losing money due to outstanding credit but they often have no live data that enables them to target the poorer performing suppliers and stores.
The management report gives full visibility of the credit situation with each supplier. It provides a monetary breakdown of the following: value of scanned product, value of credited product and value of credit queries raised by RASCAL. The retailer can then see the final amount of outstanding credit from each supplier for a given time frame. This enables the retailer to target the suppliers or stores that are causing them to lose the most credit.
The management report actually enables the retailer to have far more detailed information about their credits than the suppliers currently have.
