Identify popular products – the best-selling or identify favorite products to promote by the sales teams can be useful, depending on the business.

Let’s see how DoliPlus highlights your popular products and your best-seller ranking.

Two options to identify best sellers:

  1. The statistic 525 over a defined period: PRODUCTS/SERVICES BY POPULARITY – BEST SELLERS
  2. Identification during selection in a quote, an order… by a color code of the most sold products on the complete sales history

The statistic 525

Statistik der beliebtesten Produkte und Bestseller

526 — ranking by quantities

The 525 counts the number of invoices where the product appears: it shows what is often sold. The 526 adds the quantities sold: it shows what is sold in volume.
The two do not give the same podium, and that’s the whole point. A consumable sold by pallet crushes the 526 without ever appearing at the top of the 525; a loss leader does the opposite. Look at both before deciding on a restock or a promotion.

View the ranking from the product record

You are not required to go through the statistics. From the menu Products/Services, the display already indicates, for each product and over the selected period, the number of commercial proposals and invoices that mention it.

A click on a product reference opens the details: who bought it, when, in what quantity.

« During selection » feature

Principle

When selecting in a quote, an order, a color code gives an indication of the product’s popularity level. Hovering over the color provides the label.

Farbcode der Beliebtheit bei der Produktauswahl

Two calculation modes allow determining the color code:

  1. Forced value in the Product/service tab: allows defining among the products the favorites to promote by the sales teams,
  2. Value calculated according to invoices and the complete sales history,

Why track your popular products?

Konzentrieren Sie Ihre Vertriebsbemühungen auf die besten Verkäufer – das folgt der Logik des Pareto-Prinzips: Eine Minderheit der Artikel generiert den Großteil Ihres Umsatzes. Indem Ihre Teams auf einen Blick die beliebtesten Produkte erkennen, lenken sie Kunden zu den profitabelsten und verfügbaren Artikeln.
