Overview

A regional retail chain with 12 locations struggled with manual inventory tracking across stores. Stock discrepancies led to frequent stock-outs of popular items while other products sat unsold. Store managers spent hours weekly on inventory counts and manual reorder requests.

Challenges

  • No real-time visibility into inventory levels across locations
  • Manual data entry causing frequent errors and discrepancies
  • Inability to transfer stock between locations efficiently
  • Lost sales due to stock-outs of popular items
  • Excess inventory tying up capital and storage space

Solution

We developed a cloud-based inventory management system with real-time synchronization across all locations. The system integrated with their existing POS terminals and provided:

  • Real-time inventory tracking with automatic updates from POS systems
  • Automated reordering based on configurable thresholds and sales velocity
  • Cross-location transfer requests and tracking
  • Mobile app for store managers to conduct quick inventory checks
  • Analytics dashboard showing trends, forecasts, and optimization opportunities

Results

Operational Improvements

  • 87% reduction in stock-outs of popular items
  • $250K annual savings from reduced excess inventory
  • 15 hours per week saved on manual inventory management
  • 99.2% inventory accuracy across all locations
