portfolio analysis
Transparency first
Our methodology begins and ends with transparency. Soley shines a light into the dark corners of your product portfolio that you can’t monitor. Get ready to see what you’ve got and make some decisions!
Product Portfolio Classification
1 Soley calculates the digital twin of your company and classifies the entire product portfolio into core business, strategic peripheral business and portfolio dead weight. In this, Soley identifies typical complexity patterns and offers concrete alternative courses of action. This provides access to data-driven, effective starting points for working on your growth, profitability, and resilience goals.
Screening with expertise
2 The structured data is scanned for typical complexity patterns using digitized expert knowledge, and relevant dependencies such as common parts or shopping cart relationships are checked. Opportunities and risks are quantified, and can thus be prioritized to align with the corporate strategy.

Decide with overview
3Soley classifies the entire product portfolio and generates data-based decision templates: Where can portfolio ballast be eliminated (CUT), where are the potential synergies between core and peripheral business (SHAPE), how can market success be increased (SCALE) and where are the hidden value stream risks (SHIELD).
In the collaborative, digitized decision-making process, concrete packages of measures can be triggered in a traceable manner - turning insights into business impacts.
QUICK-WINS WITH SOLEY
With Soley, hidden opportunities become actionable in the shortest possible time - for an excellent ROI.
Phase out up to 50% as portfolio ballast
Products that are purchased by customers in insignificant quantities cause considerable expenses in the supply chain. Parts, modules, and suppliers used exclusively for these products can be cut quickly and without significant loss of sales. This frees up working capital, storage space, manufacturing and development resources.
Reduce supply risks up to 75%
Does your broad product range rest on a large number of suppliers? Then you probably have your hands full in crisis situations. Identify weaknesses in your supply chain early and act before you or your customers suffer.
Increase profitability by up to 25%
Which infrequently needed parts, modules and products have a poor cost-benefit balance? If you are always busy, but at the end of the year the earnings are not what you expect, then just focus on success. With Soley, you can quickly identify which parts, products, and suppliers are spoiling the fun for you and your customers.
up to 10% more core business turnover
Identify which product variants carry your company's success. These are not only the top sellers but also the accessories that can be found in the orders of your prime customers. With transparency in the product portfolio, you will quickly find the right candidates for preferred variants, cross-selling campaigns and pricing initiatives.

YOUR 60 SECOND QUICK CHECK
Up to 15% of company performance is lost in the dark corners of complex product portfolios. Our quick check will raise your awareness of typical issues:
The level of complexity in your company?
- Do you manufacture products yourself?
- Does your products consist of several components in several bill of material levels?
- Do you stock finished products? (Build-to-stock)
- Do you offer configurable products? (Configure-to-Order)
- Do you offer customized solutions? (Engineer-to-order)
- Do you manufacture at several locations?
The complexity competence of your company?
- Is there a role for strategic product portfolio control and complexity management?
- Do your software systems allow for analysis through bills of materials (which particular components and products from suppliers affect which particular customers and vice versa)?
- Are appropriate metrics and targets defined for portfolio monitoring?
- Is your portfolio strategy methodically followed (how do you prioritize different opportunities within the product portfolio against each other)?
Is there already an acute need for action?
- Your organization suffers from chronic overload, the causes of which cannot be clearly identified?
- There is no transparency at the push of a button regarding risks and profitability of typical products and product bundles (e.g. main product incl. accessories)?
- Questions in the context of acute crisis situations cannot be answered with data-based analyses ("what does this situation mean for our company?").
- The impact of strategic decisions on the value stream cannot be evaluated in various scenarios in a data-driven way.
- You cannot keep up with market growth with your resources, while competitors can gain market share during growth phases.
