Acorn Executive to Speak on Cost-to-Serve at RILA’s Logistics 2012
Jerome Patterson, Acorn’s Chief Marketing Officer, will be attending the Retail Industry Leaders Association’s (RILA) Supply Chain Conference: Logistics 2012 and has been invited to speak on a panel addressing cost-to-serve measurement and analytics.
Jerome will join Carlos Centurion, COO of Riverlogic, a business analytics software company, in “Cost-to-Serve Metrics for Inventory Flow” on Tuesday, February 21 at 2:45 p.m. CST. During this discussion, Jerome and Carlos will address the question of how retailers are measuring and analyzing cost-to-serve and profitability through different flow channels based on source point, product characteristics, transportation, channel, etc.
Acorn’s expertise is helping companies overcome the challenges of calculating net profitability. We realize that many companies are overloaded with data that they are unable to organize and accurately determine profits and loss. Companies seeking solutions that deliver the level of detail needed to pinpoint problem areas and provide guidance for improving net profits should adopt a cost-to-serve analysis solution.
We believe that cost-to-serve is a well-established approach for learning which customers and products matter most and also for learning how to manage them with the proper cost/service balance. With this complete insight, people responsible for bottom-line performance can make profitable decisions while quickly identifying the underlying causes of poor profitability.
If you plan on attending RILA’s Logistics 2012, we encourage you to stop by our session!
