The problem
Each store ordered by eye from paper counts. Fresh products ran out at the end of the week while other items piled up in the stockroom.
- Stock levels known only after the monthly count
- Supplier orders keyed in by hand, store by store
- No view of sales per aisle or of the margin
The solution
We connected the tills of the four stores to a central ERP that tracks the stock of every item in real time, then added three tools around it:
- A stock-count app: staff scan the aisle and the difference is recorded immediately
- Order proposals computed every morning from sales and thresholds, sent to the supplier once approved
- A loyalty card in a customer app, with the weekly offers and a shopping list
A forecasting model takes the day of the week and promotions into account to adjust quantities.
The outcome
Out-of-stocks dropped sharply, supplier orders go out every morning without re-keying and management follows the sales and margin of every store day by day.
