Product & Category Intelligence

Which product is critical, which category is about to move — the product and category sides in one place.

The product side tells you what happened today: which product is running out, which size is missing, which one is not paying back its ad spend. The category side tells you what comes next: which category accelerates and when, what happened on last year’s key dates, and which window you should prepare for this year.

Product Strategy — 8 Tabs on One Page

Stock depletion, reorder window, broken size, rising trend, investment ready, slow mover, cross-sell and product RFM. Eight analyses as tabs on the same page, each exportable to Excel.

  • Stock Depletion — estimated days until sold out
  • Reorder Window — when to place the next order
  • Broken Size — has the best-selling size run out?
  • Rising Trend and Slow Mover separation
  • Cross-Sell — frequently bought product pairs
  • Product RFM — 8 segments, from Champion to Dead Stock

Category Intelligence — Analysis, Planning, Key Dates

The category side runs separately from products. Which category moves and when, what happened on last year’s key dates, and which window to prepare for this year — all at category level.

  • Category Analysis — performance and momentum
  • Category Planning — demand forecast per category
  • Key Dates — event calendar including lunar shift
  • Comparisons are event-aligned, not calendar-aligned

Fair scoring: In categories with few products, artificially high scores are prevented — balanced against the brand average (actual 76 → adjusted 71).

Product Analysis — Visits, Sales and Ad Spend

Products that get visits but no sales, burn ad spend without converting, or sell well on few visits are listed separately. Thresholds are not fixed; they are derived from each brand’s own distribution.

  • High visits, no sales — wasted ad spend detection
  • High ad spend, low sales — budget cut candidates
  • Few visits, strong sales — visibility opportunity
  • Thresholds from the brand’s own percentile distribution

⚠ Broken Size Warning

Production suggestion: produce M ×80 + XL ×40 (based on the last 30d sales rate).

Use Cases

Where does it help in practice?

Case 1

The popular size of your best seller has run out

Outcome

Broken Size alert; the product is pulled from ads automatically.

Case 2

"When should we start preparing for Ramadan?"

Outcome

Key Dates gives last year’s event-aligned window and the required lead time.

Case 3

Is the "was" price in your discount claim correct?

Outcome

Regulatory Compliance compares it with the lowest price of the last 10 days; without evidence it says "Not measurable".
