The numbers arrive at month end. You could have corrected course on Tuesday.
In retail, speed decides. Stock, margin and availability change daily. The analysis arrives monthly.
Six places where we almost always find something in retail and logistics.
No survey, no study. These are the workflows we ask about in the first conversation, because they are usually there in this kind of business.
Sales figures arrive too late
At month end you learn what went wrong during the month. By then the month is over.
Stock kept in three places
ERP, supplier portal and a spreadsheet. The true stock level sits somewhere between them.
Seasonal patterns spotted too late
The experience sits with two people. If one is away, it becomes guesswork.
Supplier performance without numbers
Who delivers on time, who does not, and what it costs. Everyone has a feeling, nobody has a report.
Orders keyed in from every channel
Mail, phone, portal. The same order is entered three times, with three sources of error.
Returns without a pattern
Each one is handled on its own. That one article comes back systematically is something nobody sees.
Four workflows that carry fastest in this setting.
We do not build all four at once. We start with one, make it measurably better, and only then comes the next.
Daily sales analysis
By store, product group and channel, every morning. With a note where something deviates from the pattern.
Stock warning with lead time
Critical articles are flagged before they run out, with a reorder suggestion.
Supplier scorecard from your own data
On-time delivery, completeness, complaints. Built from the movements you already record.
Order capture from every channel
Mail and web form are read, checked against stock and prepared. Your people confirm.
How you notice that it works.
- You see on Tuesday what you used to see at month end.
- A supplier with poor delivery performance costs you a negotiation, not an excuse.
- The same order is entered once, not three times.
Start with the daily sales analysis. It uses data you already have and needs no change to your processes.
Four ways in, translated to retail.
You can start at any of the four. Including straight at the retainer, if you already know what you want.
The Toolbox
Analysis and supplier prompts you can apply to your own exports straight away.
What is in the ToolboxValue for two hours of your time
We take an analysis you build by hand every month and turn it into a workflow you get every day.
How the two hours workOne less process
Usually the daily sales analysis. The comparison against manual effort is particularly easy to prove here.
How the price comes aboutThe AI Builder, the monthly retainer
Assortment, channels and suppliers change with the season. We adjust the workflows without you raising a ticket.
