Real-Time Inventory Sync and Automated Replenishment
A 12-location retail chain struggled with inventory discrepancies costing $30K+ monthly in lost sales and overstock. Manual stock counts were done weekly but data wasn't consolidated until month-end. Each location used different methods for reordering, leading to frequent stockouts of popular items and overstock of slow movers.
We implemented a centralized inventory management system with real-time sync across all locations, automated reordering based on sales velocity and seasonality, and predictive analytics for demand forecasting. The system integrates POS data, tracks inventory movements in real-time, and automatically generates purchase orders when stock levels hit reorder points.
Deployment completed in 10 weeks: Week 1-2: Current state assessment and data architecture design Week 3-5: POS integration and real-time sync implementation Week 6-7: Automated reordering rules engine and supplier integration Week 8-9: Demand forecasting model training and deployment Week 10: Store staff training and system rollout The system processes 10,000+ transactions daily across all locations with sub-second latency.
Inventory accuracy improved from 72% to 91% within 60 days. Stockouts decreased by 68%, directly increasing sales. Overstock was reduced by 45%, freeing up $85K in working capital. Manual stock counting time dropped by 75%. The system has increased same-store sales by 12% through better inventory availability.
