Though hurdle rates are not published by Walmart, the supplier can work with their distributors and set desired velocity rates. You are able to set up a bookmark on the platform to help you identify at risk items with the example below.
Example:
Hurdle Rates expectation:
- Latest 13WK scan data from Retail Link (pulled at end of November)
- Item must be in 5 or more stores within each state to show up on the report.
- Only items under $25 are flagged.
- Dollar/Unit trend below -15%
- Producing less than $6.15 per store per week.
- Producing less than 0.65 units per store per week.
Set the filters on the right using the metrics above and make a bookmark to quickly identify these at-risk items.
