Grocery and hypermarket retail has its challenges
From supply chain issues to regulatory compliance and safety recalls, retailing both food and non-food products is complex.
Multiple product Categories
Challenge: Ensuring shelves are stocked with products that are seasonally and regionally in demand with varying development timelines and shelf lives are difficult to coordinate.
Solution: Leverage a centralised digital platform and pivot assortments by theme, region, delivery date, cost, cluster/store type or other variables for robust, optimized product offers.
Sourcing and сo-development
Challenge: Supply chain issues can result in recipe changes, revisions to nutritional labels, price adjustments and stockouts which are challenging to keep up with for 100s of SKUs.
Solution: Streamline sourcing whether near-shore and offshore, to ensure customers are offered safe and competitive products. Drive a multi-threaded buying strategy with just a few clicks.
Vendor Collaboration
Challenge: Poor vendor relationship management and communication impacts the speed, accuracy and efficiency of private label product development.
Solution: Connect vendors to a powerful PLM platform to provide accurate specifications related to products, ingredients and packaging.
