The problem

Most supermarkets still run on clipboards, gut feel and three disconnected systems.

01 / DELIVERIES

Deliveries are checked on paper — discrepancies vanish into a folder.

Short cases, damaged stock and missed line items go uncredited for weeks.

02 / STOCK

Stock counts are stale by the time anyone reads them.

Manual cycle counts on spreadsheets mean par levels drift and shelves empty.

03 / SHRINKAGE

Write-offs disappear without a reason code.

No category-level shrinkage view means no idea what is bleeding margin.

04 / SUPPLIERS

Suppliers are never scored on the deliveries they actually make.

“On-time” is a feeling, not a number you can take to a negotiation.

What changes for your store

From paper and gut feel
to a single, live stock truth.

No big-bang rollout. Switch on the dashboard on day one, hand out scanners on week two, and watch the disconnected systems fall away.

Before · Goods-in
Goods-in takes a clipboard and an hour.
After
Scan each case at the door — variances, damages and invoice OCR posted in minutes. The driver leaves with a signed receipt.
Before · Shrinkage
Nobody knows what got written off.
After
Every write-off carries a reason code, a photo and a member of staff. Shrinkage is broken out by category, every week.
Before · Replenishment
Reorders happen when the shelf is empty.
Par levels and 14-day velocity trigger reorder suggestions before the gap appears. POs go out one tap from the dashboard.
Before · Suppliers
Supplier reviews are a hunch.
Carry a real on-time score, spend total and lead-time trend into every conversation. Stop paying for late deliveries.
