It’s nice to go into our returns database during rush. You can start modeling data to answer questions like, ‘Why did we get X number of coursebooks back this term?’ You look at past reports on the same title for the same class, and you start to see a pattern. It looks like students are buying the book, going to class, then finding out that they’re not using the book. That’s why you get so many returns. So, maybe you don’t need to order as many to start with.

CAUSE FOR APPLAUSE

Community College of Rhode Island Strengthens Retail Analytics With Dashboard

  • An analysis of historic hourly sales prompted them to restructure store hours
  • A combination of individual store reports revealed precisely where and when CCRI Bookstores needed more temp workers during rush
  • A set of reports on rush-time returns revealed ways to cut down on excess course material inventory next term
  • Streamlined access to the Dashboard reports motivates the managers and employees at each of CCRI's four stores, because it demonstrates the results of their efforts.
