Textbook KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) enhance your evaluation of your store’s rush performance and can help you manage faculty adoptions. With MBS’ Textbook KPI Dashboard, stores can easily assess how their textbook department is performing and quickly identify areas that might need more attention. It is a great tool to use both pre- and post-rush.
Let’s look at the information available in the quick-access Textbook KPI.
Adoption Completion Rate – This chart displays your current adoption rate to help you keep track of how many outstanding adoptions your store has. Simply click on the bar for a more detailed analysis. Review the department, enrollment number, the number of courses in that department with adoptions, the total number of courses within the department that haven’t made adoption selections and the department’s completion rate. This makes it simple to know which departments might benefit from additional prompts to submit their adoptions. You can also export this information into a report that can be shared with the department chair or administrator.
Textbook Market Share Rate – Here, you can view your store’s ratio of estimated sales to estimated enrollment. This gives you your percentage of market share. By clicking on the bar, you can get a detailed view displaying publisher performance as well as generate and export the table.
Year-over-year Average Textbook Price – How does your store’s pricing this year compare to last year or the year before? This line graph makes it simple to see how your pricing compares to other years. Each point shows the average price for that year. This can help you quickly evaluate student costs and report how they have changed.
Textbook Returns by Vendor – In this table, you can quickly see how many books were ordered and from what vendor, how many returns your store had, and the percentage of returns your store made to each vendor.
Textbook Sales by Term – Compare the sales and units sold for the current year against last year. These bar chart comparisons display your percentage of retail change. Easily make additional selections for a more detailed comparison and/or choose to subtotal by class.
