Krunchbox

Krunchbox delivering POS data in a clean timely manner

Comments: Very positive experience, that I credit the Krunchbox team with delivering. AS with any system or online tool there will always be issues, bad data shared from a retailer, server slow downs and the like. But the team at Krunchbox is more responsive than any I've worked with when it comes to tools like this. The support is personal, and in our case even local.

Pros:

The support from the team in processing and intaking our weekly POS files from retailers has been a great time savings for our data insights team. Being able to run POS data across nearly any time frame is a huge win compared to our old method of compiling POS into an excel file weekly.

Cons:

Integration did take longer than expected due to complexity of files, size of catalog, current state of our product masters, etc. But the KB team was there to provide support along the way, and to do as much of the heavy lifting as possible to get us up and running.

Essentials of Krunchbox Go

Comments: Very positive and glad that the company hasn’t abandoned the platform.

Pros:

Ease of use while in field- Krunchbox Go

Cons:

Full version is information overkill for me. Can get all I need from the app.

Optimizing Store/POG Performance

Comments: In my opinion:1. KB has been a huge improvement tool within our Resideo/Retail Group reporting capabilities2. The engagement in our (my) business to build understanding and deliver support/collaboration is outstanding3. Accuracy!

Pros:

1. The ability to mine the data coming out of Lws VPP2. Using the applicable reports and dashboard to monitor ongoing business operations, determining business risk and building data to communicate and help manage the risk out of the business3. Business planning functionality... POS and inventory trending, key business pivots discovery/predictions and reporting to support Resideo business operations requirements4. The collaborative partnership with Doug and BK focused on driving improvement and growth into our business

Cons:

1. The inability to customize reporting and dashboarding2. The gap between relevant channel reporting/tools and the need for customer specific reporting/tools (key value prop gap that the Vendor and Retailer levels)3. Report generation functionality/characteristics that makes data mining unproductive, even frustrating4. SLOW!!!

Generally a solid system

Pros:

Easy to navigate; Good back of house support

Cons:

Additional opportunity to segment products would be good

CQ Taubmans Review

Comments: WIth my knowledge of Krunchbox it ticks all the boxes I require to build reports for my team

Pros:

Gives me up to date detailed information

Cons:

Not knowing its full potential and how to make the reports suit our needs

Krunchbox the ultimate sales data /allocator tool

Comments: KB experience has been great over the years. Reduces the time that i would manually create reporting in excel. Pre built reports and dashboards looking at different detail levels are very helpful.

Pros:

Integration was a very smooth and simple process.Fantastic Customer/IT Support team that are eager to help to ensure you have the best experience in using KB. KB is easy to use and navigate through with many editable reports and Dashboard options.The reporting process times are extremely fast compared to others I have used, so you can get on with your work. Everything you need at your finger tips in one platform makes it a productive and time saving experience. Allocator stock suggestions has the smarts to ensure stock gets where it needs to be. Also used as a style / store reporting tool with plenty of data.

Cons:

After many years of daily use, there is nothing i dislike about KB. I only have a suggestion of improvement.Have the option to load store/style gradings into KB. It would be extremely useful in reporting with the ability to see if the retailers allocated top ranged styles/ stores are meeting expectations. Also handy to have this in Allocator stock suggestions when asked to allocate to certain store grades.

Amazing support

Comments: Friendly and helpful customer service team. Always never too much trouble and very supportive.

Pros:

Pros:

report writing & pre formatted reports are excellent.

Sometimes it becomes difficult to get the desire formatting without playing with the selections.

Peter S 👍

Comments: Wonderful as on-going training is always available and the Krunchbox team are accessible.Krunchbox provides all of the collated information we require to build success

Pros:

Simplifies and summarises the massive amount of data we as a business need to dissect in order to formulate our next steps towards building sales

Cons:

Not Applicable as we did not research or entertain any other program.We heard great feedback on Krunchbox and we pursued Krunchbox

Great features, but slow respond

Pros:

It generates data and presents visual analysis as well as data comparison

Cons:

In the report, everytime we change a filter, it takes a long time for the website to adapt the changes.

Demand Planners Take On Krunchbox

Comments: Overall I have enjoyed my time in Krunchbox and have learned from my collogues on the best reports to use to get the data I need.

Pros:

I have enjoyed the new create your own report feature and use it often to pull data in the format that meets mine and my collegues needs.

Cons:

I do not feel that I have a full understanding of the system yet. I wish there was a place to learn more about the different metrics available and trainings to show how to use and manipulate the various reports based on career/job title. I feel Krunchbox is an invaluable tool within demand planning and forecasting analytics but I do not have the skills to successfully navigate.

Huge Time Saver

Pros:

We were running all our reports through excel and spending many hours a week formatting and filling templates to create dashboards ourselves on crucial, business analytics. We are loving that we can produce reports with the click of a button, gaining deeper insights and freeing up our team to create action from those insights. The dashboard summaries are super quick to view, export and share - something that took much longer previously.

Cons:

I've not used Krunchbox long enough just yet to feel as though we are missing anything or that functions can be improved. Understanding what I do and don't need is the current challenge as I feel there are of reporting options available - somewhat overwhelming but I know that's because I haven't spent long enough on the program yet.

Crucial to every business

Pros:

The reporting options are very powerful. Krunchbox grabs all of the data you need and displays it in whatever format you need it to. I use it daily for different aspects of the business, from KPI tracking to inventory management. It will meet all of your needs.

Cons:

Most filter settings get saved along the way but some don't. Sometimes need to adjust format settings in exported excel documents.

CMI Manager

Pros:

Ease of use of this tool. I can easily create reports and analyze data.

Cons:

sometimes very slow, take a lot of time to update the data.
