How to Identify My Top-Selling Products Across All Companies

[Devil [FuSeCo]]

Is there a way to display which items sell the most for me? Since I run many different companies and want to reduce my procurement costs—thereby increasing my profit and becoming less affected by supply shortages—I’d like to manufacture the products myself. But because I don’t have enough money or the inclination to convert all products to in-house production at once, I’d like to start with the single best-selling product across all of my companies.

The best (only) way right now is to check the flow-through of items in your warehouse(s).

The warehouse will tell you how many of each item it moved and from that you can identify your high-volume products.

You can't see it from all companies at once, but you can for each separate company. Go into the BizMan for each company, select 'Inventory & Pricing', and the lower box in the middle under 'Products & Inventory" does show you the best selling 4 products over the last 7 days, in numbers sold and percentage of sales.

Just take a note of the highest of each company on a spreadsheet or something, and then use that to find your biggest sellers overall?

You likely won't want to manufacturer your highest quantity selling items, at least shouldn't be a focus.

For example; If you're selling 1000's of cheap clothing and selling 100's of expensive clothing you're going to be better off manufacturing expensive clothing.

1. You'll need multiple factories to keep up on the demand of cheap clothing. Whereas 1 or 2 expensive clothing factories will work.

2. The import costs for cheap clothing compared to expensive and comparing your production costs fair better to produce expensive clothing.

This will likely change with EA .9, which I'm looking forward to, however, for now, you're better off producing your more expensive items.

A single factory space isn't currently adequate to produce cheap high volume selling items compared to lower volume selling items that sell for higher amounts.
