Overview
When you onboard with Avantalytics, you are given 24 customizable categories for your inventory. What this means in application is that the Avantalytics system automatically allows you to group and compare your products in 24 different, fully customizable ways. This allows for a broad variety of ways to track your items, but it can't accommodate short term or a more flexible way of analyzing your items. This is where Custom Item Groups comes in. Creating custom item groups is extremely useful for experimental or short term ways of analyzing your data. Perhaps different employees are responsible for watching different items. Perhaps you want to track your best selling item by itself for a while. Perhaps you want to track promotional items or do some A/B testing. All of these situations are perfect examples of situations that can benefit greatly from being able to create temporary, flexible and fully customizable item groups. With just a list of SKUs on hand, you can quickly create, change and delete custom item groups, bringing powerful data slicing to your fingertips. Many of the insight panels can, in turn, display these custom item groups using table, map or graph-style visuals to help you quickly analyze your data.
