Key Challenges Faced By The Retailer
Inaccurate Demand Forecasting
They relied on historical data and spreadsheets for their inventory forecast, which led to frequent stockouts of high-demand items and excess inventory of slow-moving products.
Disjointed Inventory Management Across Channels
Inventory data from the stores, website, and marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart were not synced in real time.
Low Customer Retention & Engagement
The absence of tracking or understanding of customer behavior. Marketing campaigns were a one-size-fits-all approach with low engagement.
Manual Processes Slowing Down Operations
Manual processes for store audits, shelf stock checks, and generating purchase orders created time constraints on the staff and delays.
