Setting up the ABC classification

💡

ABC classification = system of identifying and grouping products or SKUs in terms of their performance with A being the highest, C the lowest.
​
🎯

Step 1: Go to Settings > Inventory
​


Step 2: Access the ABC Classification tab
​


Step 3: Define ABC by Products or SKU and Metric by Sales or Revenue
​

Step 4: Enter % for each classification
​

Step 5: Click 'Save Changes'
​

If there are products that you don't want to include in the analysis, include them in the "Remove from analysis" section. e.g., gift bags, cards, etc.

We recommend classifying products into three categories:

  1. A → high performing products you don’t want to run out of stock (between 20 - 70%)

  2. B → Represents the majority of your products and you'd prefer not to run out of stock (between 20-70%)

  3. C → Low performing products that will have a lower business impact if they are out of stock (between 5-20%)

Prediko automatically analyses historical product performance (units sold/revenue) and distributes products across each category based on their percentage allocation so you don’t have to do any calculations yourself!
