The Customer Gap Analysis presents data in a Summary Style grid giving vision of both sales and purchases for selected customers. Using this data, companies can evaluate each customer’s Grain purchases and Accounts Receivable sales to identify missed opportunities for additional business.
The Customer Gap Analysis is located in the Agvance CRM at Control Panel / CRM Reports.
The analysis will allow filtering for specific Customers by Location, Salesperson, County, and State and also has the ability to select Customers based on active Customer and/or Patron status.
After Customers have been selected, choose the CRM Reports tab to select specific criteria for the analysis.
