ProfitGPS™

Sell and serve every customer efficiently.

With many industries becoming more competitive than ever, and margins tightening as a result, it’s critical to run your business efficiently with clear visibility into your bottom-line profitability.

ProfitGPS™ breaks true operating costs down to the transactional level, allowing you to build up a variety of views into profitability trends across your organization.

This unique level of visibility helps you optimize cost-to-serve and make smarter business decisions that can deliver sizable impacts to your bottom line.

Distributors have significant profitability variance across each of their:

Customers

Specific cost-to-serve factors create profit inconsistency. in individual customers and customer groups.

Products

Profitability on a per-product or product line basis goes far beyond gross margin.

Vendors

Varying sourcing practices and processes result in inconsistent margins based on vendor.

Branches

Operating costs per warehouse or branch can significantly alter net profitability on a sale.

ProfitGPS™ gives you actionable recommendations to improve each of these critical profitability factors.

How? SPARXiQ collects and analyzes your transaction history, inventory, drop-ship, rebates, and G&L data and recommends profit-improving opportunities through ProfitGPS™ platform.
