Customers

Manage your customer master data, SKU assignments, and commercial configuration.

The Customers page is where you set up and manage the businesses you sell to. Every forecast, sale, and promotion in ProFeT is linked to a customer record.

Customer List

Navigate to Commercial → Customers to see all your customers. The list shows key details at a glance — name, commercial model, fulfilment method, and customer type. Use the search bar to find customers by name, or filter by type, channel, or service type.

Creating a Customer

Click Add Customer and fill in the details:

Fulfilment MethodHow product is delivered: Courier, Pallet, or Container

TAM SitesTotal addressable market — number of stores/sites the customer operates

The commercial model determines which fulfilment methods are available. For example, Export customers use Container fulfilment.

SKU Assignments

Each customer needs to have SKUs assigned before you can forecast for that customer × SKU combination. On the customer detail page, manage which products are available to this customer.

For each assignment you can configure:

  • Commercial MOQ — The minimum order quantity for this customer, based on their fulfilment method (parcel, layer, pallet, or container)

SKU assignments also drive the SKU Gap Analysis — a matrix view showing which SKUs are assigned to which customers, helping you spot distribution gaps.

Attachments

Upload documents related to a customer — contracts, rate agreements, terms & conditions, or any other files. Attachments are stored securely and accessible from the customer detail page.

Editing & Deleting

Click any customer in the list to edit their details. All fields can be updated. Delete a customer when it’s no longer active — note that this affects any linked forecasts or sales records.
