NPS – Net Promoter Score

The Net Promoter Score is a customer satisfaction methodology developed to assess the degree of customer loyalty of any company profile. While answering the question: “Would you recommend us to a friend?”Customers are classified as promoters (grades 9 to 10), neutral (grades 7 to 8) or detractors (grades 0 to 6). NPS is obtained by subtracting the percentage of promoters from the percentage of detractors, excluding neutral ones. Supposing that we had 6 promoters, 3 neutral and 1 detractor, the calculation would be 60% – 10% (referring to the promoters and detractors, respectively), obtaining a NPS of 50 points.

Ship from Store

To make the purchase the process is the same, but the logistics of delivery is done in a strategic way, that is, the products leave the megastore closest to the delivery address, reducing delivery times and the shipping cost.

Stock Keeping Unit

It is a code created to identify each product in stock, separating the products according to their characteristics and quantities. For example, imagine a blue transparent tube pen as 1 SKU, all other pens that are the same still represent 1 SKU.

FAQ

What is Havan's business model?

As a department store with more than 150 megastores spread across the country with an average of almost 4,700 m² of sales area, Havan’s mission is to delight people through the shopping experience, where everything is in one place, with a vast product mix of more than 320 thousand SKU’s, free parking, spacious and organized stores, with a food court and some even have a cinema. Still as a differential, we have Havan’s own brands and, also, Havan provides credit to the consumer through the Havan Card, splitting its purchases up to 10x without interest. Havan has a unique logistics model, centralizing CDH in Barra Velha with approximately 180 thousand m² of built area, using the latest technology to optimize the logistics processes. As we sell a large volume per store, we are able to ship cargo directly from our CDH with the truck fully loaded directly to the branch, with a frequency of at least one truck per week (in stores with lower sales volume). Our stores end up being mini distribution centers, which allows us to ship from store very efficiently.
