What are Subscriptions in Cogsy?
Cogsy helps you with the analysis of your subscription products that are currently managed by the Smartrr subscriptions app in Shopify. This applies to Cogsy users who sell on Shopify plus use the Smartrr subscriptions app.
We will build integrations with other Subscription apps in the coming months.
What knowledge does Cogsy sync from Smartrr?
Currently, we only ingest the following data:
- The frequency of the subscription: This is represented as the unit tipe (days, weeks, months, or years) plus the interval (e.g: every 1 month, 2 months, etc.)
- The next date it is due to ship
- A list of line items under the subscriptions (including SKU plus quantity included)Whether the subscription is active or not
How do we use this synced data?
Currently, we only use this knowledge to calculate the following stats per SKU:
We calculate subscription demand per day by extrapolating the active subscriptions we have saved for a defined horizon*
We also get a cumulative number of the subscription demand over the defined horizon*
Both of these stats are also calculated for bundles as well. i.e.:
If an SKU is part of a bundle, then the subscription demand for the bundle is trickled down to the SKU as well.
We use these stats to determine if an SKU is “at-risk” plus calculate the amount of safety stock that a merchant needs to set aside to meet subscription demand for “at-risk” SKUs:
An SKU is marked as “at-risk” of not fulfilling its subscription obligations if it is due to run out of stock within the defined horizon*
For such SKUs, we calculate the safety stock as the amount of subscription demand from the date it runs out of stock until the end of the defined horizon*
- The “defined horizon” is determined in the below hierarchy:
- The delivery date of the next open PO, if it exists OR
- The SKU lead time, if it exists OR
- The vendor lead time, if it exists OR
- The average lead time for the account
What exactly does this integration help me with?
