I pulled upholstery cost of goods by BOM line against the last price file. Three quarters of the drop is material and freight, not discounting.
| Signal | Finding |
|---|---|
bom_cost_actuals | Foam and frame stock +9.2% since the March price file, never carried to list |
freight.inbound | Inbound container cost +$412 per unit-equivalent on the Vietnam lane |
channel.mix | Wholesale share up 6pp, and wholesale runs 11pp under DTC margin |
Recommend: reprice the six affected SKUs at the next list cycle, quote the alternate foam vendor, and hold wholesale allocation flat until list catches up.

Metrics Ward monitors
Furniture challenges Ward solves
- Disconnected ERP, warehouse, and POS systems
- Custom/configurable SKUs that break standard reporting
- 8–16 week lead times with no demand signal
- Raw material cost drift invisible until P&L close
- Channel mix shift between showroom, e-commerce, and wholesale
Why this combination
is its own problem.
Oracle NetSuite is the system of record for most furniture operators of your size, which means the readings Ward needs are already there. The gap is not data collection. It is that nobody has time to read sales orders and inventory every morning across every store.
What Ward has eyes on.
Every one of your locations gets its own baseline. Ward watches inventory carrying cost, order-to-delivery cycle, gross margin by channel against it and raises only the deviations that hold up. The two that show up most in furniture retail are disconnected ERP, warehouse, and POS systems and custom/configurable SKUs that break standard reporting, and both are baseline problems before they are P&L problems.
The connection to Oracle NetSuite is read-only and runs on your schedule. Ward reads sales orders, inventory, and the rest of the feed, then cross-references it with external context your ERP does not carry: weather, local events, competitor pricing.
What the first 90 days
actually look like.
-
01
Week 1: read-only connection
Ward reads from Oracle NetSuite with read-only credentials and begins ingesting sales orders and inventory. No config changes on your side. First insight cards arrive in two days.
-
02
Weeks 2 to 3: baselines
Ward needs roughly two weeks of history per store to separate a real deviation from normal variance. During this window the daily cards are directionally right and the thresholds are still moving.
-
03
Weeks 4 to 12: steady state
Ward delivers findings daily, each with the driver and what to do about it. Volume settles at a level a single person can read over coffee. The measure of success is not how many cards arrive, it is how many get acted on.
