> With the new ABC analysis in ShopLinkr you see straight away which products matter most in your warehouse.

With the new **ABC analysis** in ShopLinkr you see straight away which products matter most in your warehouse.

The analysis is based on the Pareto principle and looks at how often you have to walk to a product, not at how many units you pick. Walking once for one product or for a hundred products therefore both count as **one pick**.

Products are sorted into three categories automatically:

**A products**\
The first 80% of all picks. This is usually around 20% of your assortment.

**B products**\
The next 15% of the picks. Around 30% of your assortment.

**C products**\
The last 5% of the picks. This is often around 50% of your assortment.

The analysis is recalculated automatically once a week, so your warehouse layout is always based on recent order data.

A and B labels are shown on the products page, so you can quickly decide which products deserve a strategic spot in your warehouse. The label is also shown on incoming deliveries, so you know right away which products have priority when putting stock away.

Under **Reports → ABC analysis** you will also find an overview of the “Movers”. There you see which products changed category, for example from B to A or from A to C.

That way you set up your warehouse more cleverly and save walking time every day.
