THE LONG-TERM VISION

Use real placement results to make the next decision.

Today, Fondacos records the agreement, each stock movement, sales, returns and losses. With more reliable placement history, brands and retailers could make better calls about where a range fits, how much to send and when to change course.

S
ANALYTICS START WITH A TRUSTWORTHY COUNT

Record each sale against its placement terms.
See what changes from shop to shop.

A product that sells quickly in one shop may sit on the shelf in another. If the stock count is incomplete, neither business can tell whether the difference came from demand or a missing unit. Future analysis depends on getting those records right first.

A DIRECTION, NOT A CURRENT FEATURE

A sales figure matters more when you know where it came from.

Detailed analytics are not available today. Any recommendations would depend on enough accurate sales, stock and shrink records across real retail placements.

A FUTURE PLACEMENT QUESTION

Would this range earn its space in your shop?

Shops have limited room, and the right fit depends on the product and the range around it. Future planning could consider category mix and product-specific constraints rather than asking every store for one general capacity figure.

The stock and agreement records come first
THE RECORDS COME FIRST

Before comparing shops, get the count right.

Fondacos starts with the businesses already trading together. Record the agreement, confirm each delivery and capture sales before drawing lessons from the numbers.

ABOUT THE FONDACOS ROADMAP

What comes after the core stock placement records?

These are ideas for later releases, shaped by the quality of the placement data.

Are sales recommendations available in Fondacos today?

No. The current focus is the operational record for agreements, stock movements, sales imports, reconciliation and returns. Recommendations are a longer-term idea.

How could sales data help brands choose stockists?

With enough reliable placement history, brands may be able to compare sell-through across similar shops, locations and product categories before planning another trial.

Will Fondacos decide how much stock a retailer should take?

That is not a current feature. Any future planning support would inform a decision using past results, while the brand and retailer would still agree the placement.
