Mix is the lever

Most supermarket owners obsess over price. Mix matters more: a 1 pp shift toward higher-margin categories often beats a 2% across-the-board price rise.

Veira shows category contribution daily, so merchandising and promo planning are evidence-based.

Prefer this running automatically, on every sale, with no manual entry?

Frequently asked questions

Why is FMCG margin low?
Manufacturer pricing power. Compensate with volume and category mix.
Where do I get my numbers?
Veira reports them by category automatically.
Can I beat the blended benchmark?
Yes, shift mix toward fresh, household and own-brand SKUs.
Are own-brand SKUs higher margin?
Usually yes, 25-40% on private-label vs 8-15% on national brands.
Does Veira flag low-margin categories?
Yes. Veira surfaces underperforming categories weekly.

Doing this by hand every time? Veira runs the same calculation automatically on every sale, no spreadsheet required.
