Retail sales intelligence, drawn as plates a buyer can hold

When Monday’s meeting opens, the till already knows what sold. The shop often does not. We take the extract, the shelf plan, and last week’s markdowns, and we draw them as a briefing the floor can use before lunch.

Logic Routecore Analytics sits with grocers, apparel rooms, and hardware counters across Georgia. We do not install a till. We do not replace the bookkeeper. We read the week’s figures, mark the lines that moved and the lines that only occupied space, and sit with the owner or the buyer until the plates make sense.

The main piece of work

The weekly trading briefing

A briefing is a dated set of chart plates and a short written note. It covers the shops you name, the SKU groups you care about, and the comparison you actually run — last week, last year, or the same promotional week.

The first briefing takes five to eight working days. After that, a weekly round can be drawn from a standing extract. We walk the plates with you in the Tbilisi office or on the shop floor. Software logins are not part of the work.

What we need from you

  • A till extract or a sales file the bookkeeper already produces
  • The range list, even if it is a printed sheet with pencil marks
  • One hour with the person who decides markdowns and replenishment

If the extract is messy, we still start. Cleaning the week is part of the first fee, not a separate product.

They asked for the till file we already send to the accountant. The first plates showed the dairy bay earning less than the dried goods we had pushed to the back wall. I did not enjoy being told the yoghurt promotion had been a waste, but the next Monday we moved the facings and the week looked different.
