It’s a worst-case scenario for any supermarket: a customer walks into the store armed with his or her groceries list but leaves disappointed as many of the items he or she wants to buy are out of stock.
Retailers have a powerful tool to eliminate out-of-stock items: UST's On-Shelf Availability (OSA+) solution.
THE CHALLENGE
Too many things can go wrong when the temperature monitoring of frozen food is conducted manually.
- Lack of operational compliance (or “human failure”) at the store level.
- Lack of coordination between retailers and suppliers at both strategic and operational levels.
- Inefficient set of algorithms built many years ago on packaged software.
- The absence of machine learning input in static algorithms.
THE SOLUTION
UST’s OSA+ solution is a finely tuned machine learning algorithm combined with a managed service delivery model. With OSA+ algorithms and our managed staff handling manual intervention and overall management, stock-outs can be a thing of the past.
Business benEfits
- Sends the right re-order quantity to your enterprise systems, to minimize stock outs and increase availability
- Eliminates the significant expense of internal data scientists and stock management staff
- Complements and enhances any existing central planning tool you have already deployed.
