1. Margin Minder®MAX - Enterprise Management
The Margin Minder® MAX system puts the right information where it counts, when it counts, directly in the hands of the people who make the daily decisions that determine company profitability. Margin Minder MAX is based on Salient's UXT® high performance data exploitation system. UXT tracks commercial and operational data in real time. It integrates billing, syndicated, survey, supply chain and causal information and then organizes these data streams into a comprehensive, dead net accounting of the activity of the enterprise. Performers, managers and executives all get a never-before-possible capability to correlate their own actions to profit, growth, efficiency and productivity. MAX lets them see the connection graphically, continuously, in real time.
2. Margin Minder - Trade and Promotion Management System
Better information fast -> better decisions sooner.
Better decisions sooner -> increased profit performance.
Did the extra discount gain sales volume but reduce overall profitability? Did I really gain from the last promotion - after all the costs are deducted? What is the net margin contribution from that one customer (or product, or vendor, or whatever)? What is the market penetration on that new product introduction? These are the kinds of questions our clients ask. With Margin Minder®, they can now answer those questions, and many more, in just seconds!
A technology solution to information management that anyone can use.
Margin Minder draws the data from your existing systems. It can capture data from disparate systems. You decide what you want to see, when you want to see it and how the information should look - all without typing in a single query command or making a special request. Salient has created an interface that is easy for the occasional user, yet flexible enough to meet the needs of the most demanding power user. It can even be used offsite for business reviews and presentations with customers and suppliers.
3. Catergory Minder - Category Management System
Make every inch count!
Retail professionals must anticipate constantly-changing market trends and find the optimal assortment of products for each store. Manufacturing professionals must convince retailers that their product is the money-maker they say it is. Whether you buy for retail companies or sell products to those companies, you need to know what is really going on at the check-out counter. To meet these challenges, you need the intelligence hidden in the mountains of transaction data that move across the scanner. But you need the right answers right now, not some "grossed-up" summary or stacks of paper. Salient's Category Minder category management system gives you the facts necessary to get the most out of every square inch.
4. Sales Minder - Sales Management System
How do you make decisions about your sales business?
As a sales professional, you are always looking for ways to sell more for a higher price, gain new customers and increase sales to existing customers. You need to know what products sell the best and which customers are worth your time. Your computer systems collect all of the details from sales transactions, but the information they deliver isn't timely, simple or precise enough to guide specific decisions. Too often, just for the press of time and work, important business decisions must be made in the dark.
Now there is the Sales Minder sales management system.
Starting where your accounting system leaves off, the Sales Minder system organizes your vital statistics in a unique, super-fast information system that clearly shows exactly what's going on, in time to respond to any situation. At last, everything that happens becomes entirely visible, measurable and under control.
No limits.
The Sales Minder system is completely dynamic, which means that nothing is pre-summarized or canned. Instead, it holds all of your key business elements (customers, products, etc.) and all of the facts that come from your sales (sales volumes, revenues, prices, cost of goods sold, marginal contribution, etc.), and lets you examine them at any time, from any place, whichever way you want.
5. Store Minder - Retail Integrated Enterprise Performance Management
Retail management is a difficult business with widely fluctuating prices, thousands of products, labor management issues and dozens of vendors touting hundreds of direct and indirect promotions. Add to this the natural constraints of merchandising space, the competition and constantly shifting consumer preferences and it becomes clear that fast and continuous access to timely intelligence is critical for managing profit and growth.
