The idea

Put velocity, margin and distribution side by side, and the decisions follow a rule:

Key points

ExpandFast seller, good margin, not in every store.
RemoveSlow seller with a low margin.
RepositionSlow seller with a good margin: keep it where it sells.

Every range decision should name the number behind it.

Practice

Try each one in your head first, then open the answer.

1. Tap the SKU to expand to more stores.
The Fast charger: 10 a week, 45% margin, missing from 4 stores.
2. Tap the SKU to remove from the range.
The car mount: 1 a week and a 30% margin.
3. If the Fast charger goes into 4 more stores and sells 10 a week in each, how many extra units is that over 4 weeks?
4 stores × 10 a week × 4 weeks = 160 units

Learn it by doing. This lesson is a short hands-on level on Bampaa: see it work, then build and write it yourself, with instant feedback.
