RL201 - Retail Link® Software Analysis Methods


Advancing your skills in Wal-Mart's Retail Link® Software & Decision Support through Delta's workshop.

In RL101, we build a solid foundation for utilizing Wal-Mart's Retail Link® software and Decision Support and learn how to answer some fundamental business questions that most companies are faced with. RL201 goes a step further into Decision Support, focusing on the development of advanced queries as well as the skill sets necessary to optimally manage data.

One of the challenges Retail Link® software users face is getting data to do what they need. While some people can build the right query, they lack the ability to efficiently manipulate data. It is for this reason that we incorporate much of Excel's functionality into our RL201 course. Sometimes, building the right query is not enough; in today's business environment, we need answers - and we need them fast.


In this two day workshop you will:

Learn how to quickly answer business questions so you can immediately take action-oriented steps.

  • Where are there high & low weeks on hand?
  • What percent of stores have inactivated key items and who are they?
  • Are sales trending upward in the last few weeks at a higher rate than year-to-date?
  • What is cumulative sellthru by week?
  • Are units growing faster or slower than sales?
  • What is the instock trend in relation to inventory and sales?
  • How does the company's sales trend compare to the seasonal fineline profile?
  • What are my high-volume stores and do they have similar "Store of the Community" characteristics?
  • Does there appear to be a correlation between store sales volume and certain traits?

Discover how Store of the Community information can be applied to better understand the customer.

Master Microsoft® Excel functionalities, such as PivotTable, Vlookup, and Macros to increase efficiency in data management. Learn skills necessary to design and manage workbook templates so you can automate repetitive reporting functions.

Advance your understanding on queries available in Decision Support and learn how they can be applied to your business.
