FinListics launched KPIs for Sales Success to provide a framework and industry information to help you better understand your clients. This is especially important in these times of great uncertainty. Each series focuses on a specific industry and contains snapshots of facts and figures that you can use to quickly understand important metrics of your client’s business.
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) in Retail is explored in this snapshot. Cost of Goods Sold is important since it absorbs 50% - 70% of revenues depending on the type of retailer and is a key responsibility of business functions like merchandising, omni-channel, distribution and logistics, and store operations.
