4. Promotional Inputs & Sample Allocation Policy
Auto-generation of monthly dispatch plan based on Sales Rep performance
Standardized sample allocation policies facilitate generation of the monthly
sample and gift allocation and dispatch plan.

View depletion in stock based on the planned allocation, stock deficit if any.
Corrective steps can be taken in advance.
Standard allocation is default. Current allocation changed for a territory.
Promotional budgets are automatically checked during allocation.
Basic inputs - sales performance medical rep-wise, product (SKU) wise qty & value.
Medico SG allows grouping of sales item SKUs into Sales Item Groups.

involving multiple SKUs,
7. Promotional Inputs & Sample Allocation Policy
Concept of Samples/PI sales group
Example of mapping sales SKUs to a Samples/PI sales group
Ecosprin 10x10 75mg tabs - Ecosprin sales group
Ecosprin 10x12 150mg tabs - Ecosprin sales group
Ecosprin 10x12 50mg tabs - Ecosprin sales group
Ecosprin 10x10 100mg tabs - Ecosprin sales group
PHY of individual SKUs are clubbed into the Ecosprin Sales group and then considered
for the promotional inputs and sample allocation policy.
Usually previous 11 months sales excluding the current month is considered.
Algorithm can be configured easily to cater to any specific requirement.
The Sample allocation policy may differ for each division.
Differential sampling Different allocation quantities
Ecosprin group - PHY 0-100 per month- allocate 50 units of Ecosprin PS 2s
Ecosprin group - PHY 101-300 per month - allocate 75 units of Ecosprin PS 2s
Ecosprin group - PHY 301 and above - allocate 100 units of Ecosprin PS 2s
Non Differential sampling Same allocation quantity assigned to all Reps.
Burnheal group - Allocate 50 units of Timex watches to all Medical Reps
