Outsourced sell-out reporting

Outsource your sell-out reporting.

You forward the files your retail partners already send. We deliver the finished month.

Most brands try to solve reseller reporting by hiring for it or by buying a tool. Both leave the same work on your desk: someone still has to chase the files, decode each partner's format, and rebuild the spreadsheet before anyone can act on it.

This is the third option. The work leaves your team entirely, and what comes back is a finished month.

What you hand over

The whole job, not the easy half

Collection stays in your name

Your resellers keep sending exactly what they send today, to you, in the format they already use. We never contact them and they never learn a new process.

Cleaning, matching, consolidation

Within two business days of a file arriving it is parsed, matched to one SKU, currency-converted and committed to your dataset. Malformed files and invented layouts are a person's problem here, not yours.

The close itself

On a set date each month the report lands in your inbox and the data lands in your systems. Anything a retailer never sent is named plainly, by retailer and month.

What stays yours

Outsourcing the work, not the data

Your sell-out data is yours. You keep a window into it — performance views, exports, questions, and adding new products — and you can take the whole dataset with you at any time.

What you are outsourcing is the labour and the judgement calls: which SKU a garbled line refers to, whether a partner's new template changed meaning or just column order, whether a number that moved 40% is a real signal or a reporting artefact.

When this fits

Who this actually works for

  • You sell through retail partners or distributors who report in their own formats.
  • Month-end reporting currently eats days of someone senior's time.
  • You have tried a BI tool and found the cleaning, not the charting, was the real work.
  • You need numbers you can plan production and reorders from, not a dashboard to admire.
  • You would rather pay a predictable monthly fee than carry a hire or a half-finished internal project.

Common questions

Questions brands ask before they hand this over

What does it mean to outsource sell-out reporting?

It means a third party takes on collecting, cleaning, matching and consolidating the sell-out files your retail partners send, and delivers a finished report and clean dataset on a fixed date each month. Your team stops doing the work rather than doing it in a better tool.

Do our resellers have to do anything differently?

No. They keep sending exactly what they send today, in the format they already use, on whatever schedule they already keep. Collection stays in your name, so the relationship stays yours.

Is there software for our team to run?

None that you have to operate. You get a window into your own data to see performance, export, ask questions and register products — but nothing to upload into, no mappings to review and no rollout for your team.

What happens if a retailer never sends their file?

The month still closes on time and that reseller is named plainly in the report, by retailer and month. We never guess a number and never quietly leave a gap for you to discover later.

What does outsourced sell-out reporting cost?

€750 per month base plus €75 per reseller per month. Setup and full historical backfill are included. Brands with more than 30 resellers are priced individually.

How long does it take to start?

Setup and the historical backfill are done by us before your first close, so the first finished month arrives on the close date we agree — not after a rollout project your team has to staff.

The test of whether this worked is simple: on the close date, the report is in your inbox and nobody on your team spent a day on it.

Pricing

One offer. Priced by the size of your problem.

One service, one published formula, no quote to negotiate. The base covers the parts that stay the same no matter how many resellers you have: running your month, writing the report, watching for anomalies, and your login. The per-reseller rate covers the part that grows: every extra format we have to read, maintain and watch.

Included, always

  • Setup of all your resellers

  • A finished month, with the report in your inbox
  • That month of data, ERP-ready
  • Continuous anomaly watch, flagged as it happens
  • Your login: performance views, exports, questions, and adding new products
  • Ad-hoc questions and small requests, within reason
  • New reseller later: no fee, +€75/month from the month added

Quoted separately, so the price above stays honest: genuinely custom analysis projects, and data that needs manual re-keying (scans, images).

If you pay for the year

You get 12 months for the price of 11, plus a yearly review where we sit down and walk you through what your numbers actually did.

Where the price sits

On our estimate, a 20-reseller brand spends 10 to 15 hours a month on this, in spreadsheets that still carry human error into reorder decisions. The realistic alternative is part-time analyst capacity at €2–4,000 a month. One reorder you don't get wrong pays for the year.
