Changing demands in retail require businesses to improve inventory management and revamp retail operations. To achieve this, associates are choosing to implement real-time visibility that improves inventory accuracy. Poor inventory visibility leads to out-of-stocks for 33% of your shoppers and up to 30% of unfulfilled online orders. Studies show that 85% of decision-makers believe that maintaining real-time visibility of stockouts is a significant challenge and almost half say that out-of-stocks are the biggest frustration during a retail shift. Additionally, stockouts cost retailers an estimated $1 trillion every year. Without the tools to implement effective visibility, businesses could suffer from higher stockout rates, unfulfilled orders, lost revenue, and ultimately lost customers. Therefore, to revamp your storefront and satisfy customers, retail stores must secure real-time visibility and accurate inventory management.
