Business analytics for wholesale and distribution

In wholesale the money sits in two places: the warehouse and the customers. These reports show both at once — how much is tied up in stock and how much is hanging in unpaid invoices.

Accounting vs analytics

Wholesale margins are thin, so a couple of percentage points change the year. And the cash sits in two places at once: in the warehouse, and with customers who have not paid yet.

Business analytics

The ready-built Rivilė reports show both sides together. Stock turnover, slow-moving goods and overdue debt in one summary explain why a profitable company is permanently short of cash.

The figures worth watching

Stock turnover

How many days it takes the warehouse to turn over. A rising figure means cash is sitting in stock for longer.

Slow-moving stock

Which products are not moving and how much is tied up in them. Listing the supplier alongside shows whether the problem is systematic in one group.

Product profitability

Margin by product and group, not just turnover. Wholesale margins are thin, so a couple of percentage points change the result.

Customer profitability and debt

The largest customer on the longest credit terms is often the most expensive one. Margin and overdue debt together give the real picture.

Account manager performance

Profit rather than turnover, and whether those customers actually pay. That determines whether the incentive scheme is pulling in the right direction.

Supplier terms

Payment terms to suppliers against the credit you give customers. The difference between the two is your working-capital requirement.

How to read the report
01

Stock turnover

Stock turnover is shown against a target and as a trend — a rising number of days means more cash going into stock, even when turnover looks healthy.

02

Products and account managers

Product profitability by group is sorted on margin, so the groups with the highest turnover and the lowest profit stand out immediately. Account manager results are shown alongside the share of invoices actually paid — turnover without payment is not yet a result.

03

Debt and suppliers

At the bottom: slow-moving goods by supplier, customer profitability alongside overdue debt, and the gap in supplier terms. The last of these shows how many days the company is financing its own trade.

Where the data comes from

  • the accounting system (usually Rivilė)
  • stock levels and movements
  • customer contracts with their credit terms
Read access The connection is read-only — the reports read your data, change nothing, and never write back to your systems.

What people usually notice first

  1. 1 The usual finding is that the cash cycle is longer than assumed: days of stock, plus the credit given to customers, less supplier terms, often comes to two or three months.
  2. 2 It explains why a growing wholesaler is permanently short of cash while the accounts show a profit.

We took the standard R-Keeper report package and they tailored it to us on top of that. It all just works.

Twenty ready-made reports — we didn't have to work out what to ask for. Our Finvalda data is finally something you can look at. Recommended.

Ingrida M.accountant
What we liked was that Analitika360 already had a 20-report package for Rivilė users — we didn't have to work out our requirements from scratch. We were up and running quickly, and later they adapted several reports to the specifics of our production. It saved us both time and money.

Marius K.finance director
We are a group of companies running Rivilė, and consolidated reporting was always a headache. Analitika360 started from the standard 20-report package and then fitted it to our group structure — we now see everything in one Power BI model, and it refreshes itself.

We run six restaurants on R-Keeper and had long been looking for a way to compare results across sites. The standard 20-report package covered most of what we needed, and reports specific to our group were added later.
Andrius Š.director of a restaurant group
We came to them on a recommendation, and the ready-made 20-report standard for Finvalda users was a pleasant surprise straight away. Management now gets a clear financial picture every Monday, and I no longer spend days exporting data into Excel.

We use Rivilė, but we never had time to build reports from scratch. The 20-report package was exactly what we needed — we had it running within a week.
VP
Vaidas P.retail chain manager
We have four cafés on R-Keeper and for a long time we ran them on gut feel. The Analitika360 reports showed us things we had simply never noticed. We now decide on the numbers rather than on guesswork.
