Calculate how much margin leaks when purchase cost rises, the list price is not updated, by-the-glass revenue falls short or stock ties up capital.

With these figures the list price already covers the target margin, so there is no leakage. Try raising the purchase cost or the target margin to see when it appears.

Maintain and monitor cost
Estimated tied-up capital: €324. If the actual cost has changed and the list price has not, leakage accumulates every month.

Actual cost
If the cost changes on a delivery note or invoice and the list price is not updated, margin erodes unnoticed.
By the glass
A wine can sell well by the glass and still lose profitability if bottle cost, waste and service are not recovered.
Stock
A reference with a sound margin can still be a poor purchase if stock builds up and rotation slows.
Live margin control
Winerim spots leakage before it becomes a poor purchasing decision.
By connecting the wine list, costs, POS, stock and distributors, Winerim can flag which references to review, stop reordering or move by the glass.
