The Challenge:
Previously, conducting inventories was a stressful chore that required a significant amount of time and involved a large portion of the team for two days. This led to financial and time losses, which adversely affected the company’s primary operations. Moreover, errors were frequent, resulting in significant discrepancies in stock levels.
The West Cheval management recognized that improving the management of their sales channels was crucial to maintaining accurate stock levels and avoiding errors that could harm the customer experience. As a result, they opted for our UBI Retail traceability solution to enhance visibility of their inventory and prevent order errors.
The Solution:
The implemented solution is a comprehensive traceability system that enables tracking of items from receipt to direct sale in-store or through the website. The goal is to achieve a 100% accurate stock status and prevent online sales of out-of-stock items.
Benefits:
Since implementing the RFID solution for their inventories, everything has changed! Previously, they had to mobilize an entire team for several days to manually count each product. Additionally, they often faced stock discrepancies that could lead to out-of-stock situations and disappoint customers.
With the RFID solution, everything has become simpler and more efficient.
