Unlike generic inventory templates, this version integrates campaign-driven product movement data with marketing KPIs to enable real-time decision-making. The “Analysis View” ensures that marketing managers do not merely track stock levels but understand how promotional activities, seasonal campaigns, budget allocations, and channel-specific strategies impact inventory turnover, dead stock accumulation, and SKU profitability.

- Marketing Campaigns – Central hub for campaign metadata
- Inventory Movements – Detailed log of stock changes tied to campaigns
- Sku Performance Dashboard – Aggregated analytics and visualizations
