Solution-oriented controlling for the
consumer goods industry

Successfully manage assortment, sales and market share with Bissantz

The consumer goods industry is under enormous pressure: short product life cycles, fluc­tu­ating raw material prices, rising sus­tai­na­bi­lity require­ments and increasing compe­ti­tive pressure require fast, well-founded deci­sions. Con­ven­tional controlling processes with manual Excel evalu­ations and delayed monthly reports are no longer sufficient.

This is precisely where decision intelli­gence from Bissantz comes in. Our AI-powered BI solution links structured finan­cial data and unstruc­tured infor­ma­tion, auto­ma­ti­cally detects anomalies and causes, and imme­di­ately delivers concrete action recommendations – for trans­parent, proactive controlling in the consumer goods industry.

Sales mix shifts detected too late?

Sales mix shifts detected too late?

Shifts in product mix between high- and low-margin articles often remain invi­sible in aggre­gated monthly reports. Which cate­gories are losing share? Where do volume increases compen­sate for decli­ning margins? Bissantz auto­ma­ti­cally breaks down revenue and margin develop­ments by product line, sales channel and customer segment, trans­pa­rently visualizes ano­malies, and delivers concrete impulses for port­folio management.

Customer feedback remains untapped?

Customer feedback remains untapped?

Customer reviews, complaints and sales feed­back are unstruc­tured and are often not linked with quan­ti­ta­tive KPI. When repur­chase rates decline, it remains unclear whether quality, price or commu­ni­ca­tion is causal. Bissantz connects quali­ta­tive signals with measu­rable metrics, detects patterns in customer texts, and pro­actively reports pro­ducts with decli­ning customer satis­faction – before it’s reflected in revenue figures.

Margins threatened by cost fluctuations?

Margins threatened by cost fluctuations?

Fluctuating manufac­turing costs, rising return rates and price pressure from retailers require quick reac­tions. DeltaMaster auto­ma­ti­cally analyzes contri­bution margin, revenue per product series, manu­fac­tu­ring cost deviation and return rate and auto­ma­ti­cally reports which programs fall below target margins – with concrete recom­men­da­tions for price or assort­ment adjustments.

Market leaders and hidden champions trust us.

Automate assortment and margin analysis

Automate assortment and margin analysis

Delta­Master auto­matically ana­lyzes contri­bution margin, revenue per product series, manu­facturing cost devia­tion and return rate across all product groups, sup­pliers and seasons. The soft­ware detects anoma­lies such as unex­pected margin declines in indi­vidual product lines and clearly recom­mends whether list prices, purcha­sing condi­tions, or assort­ment breadth should be adjusted.

Manage turnover frequency and inventory performance

Manage turnover frequency and inventory performance

Through auto­mated ana­lyses of turnover fre­quency, write-off rate and inven­tory by product group and season, Delta­Master makes capital commit­ment and liqui­dity risks trans­parent. The soft­ware auto­matically reports programs falling below target values and provides action recom­menda­tions for inven­tory opti­mization or assort­ment.

Inte­grate customer signals into sales plan­ning

Inte­grate customer signals into sales plan­ning

Delta­Master inte­grates struc­tured sell-through data from retail partners with unstruc­tured sources such as review scores and retailer feedback texts. The soft­ware auto­matically detects corre­lations between product reviews, sell-through rate and inven­tory turnover and delivers action recom­menda­tions for adjust­ments in produc­tion or assort­ment. This enables counter­measures before shortages or excess inven­tory are reflected in the balance sheet.

Priori­tize product develop­ment data-driven

Priori­tize product develop­ment data-driven

With flexi­ble multiple reports (multiples), Delta­Master helps consumer goods com­panies clearly juxta­pose metrics for product lines, inno­vations and market seg­ments. Connec­tions between launch success, customer satis­faction and contri­bution margin become recog­nizable, so mana­gers and con­trollers can set clear develop­ment priori­ties and manage resources.

Trans­parently monitor sustain­ability metrics

Trans­parently monitor sustain­ability metrics

Delta­Master links struc­tured finan­cial data with unstruc­tured sustain­ability docu­ments and certi­fication statuses. The soft­ware auto­matically detects devia­tions between commu­nicated CO₂ savings values and actual figures and provides mana­gers with a clear data foun­dation to consis­tently sub­stantiate sustain­ability goals and detect compli­ance risks early.

Evaluate campaign perfor­mance in real time

Evaluate campaign perfor­mance in real time

By inte­grating marketing, sales, and finan­cial data, Delta­Master enables conti­nuous ana­lysis of campaign ROI, new customer rate and contri­bution margin by channel. AI-powered ana­lyses detect below-average perfor­mance during the campaign and recom­mend which channels should be adjusted or stopped.

Fast-paced insights for fast-paced markets

Controlling in the consumer goods industry more efficient than ever before

In the consumer goods industry, wrong deci­sions can quickly have major impacts: low-margin arti­cles block capital, delayed reac­tions to trend shifts lead to excess inven­tory, lack of trans­parency over sustain­ability metrics endan­gers stake­holder trust. Bissantz auto­matically detects critical devia­tions and delivers priori­tized action recom­menda­tions before they threaten your profi­tability.

These recom­menda­tions are based on a fully inte­grated, unified data foun­dation and are always trace­able. Instead of spending hours evalu­ating Excel reports or searching through dash­boards, you focus on what matters: selecting and imple­menting measures so your port­folio remains profi­table, compe­titive and future-proof at all times.
