Report: A Practical Guide to Preventing Stockouts in Retail
We’ve had the great privilege of working alongside dozens of retailers striving to attain balance in their supply chains—a challenge as difficult to master as it is to maintain. Based on our experience, this report, “Missing Links in Retail Out-of-Stock: Maximizing Technical Solutions Through People,” brings together the expertise of Integration’s international Supply Chain practice, gained through retail engagements of all types, sizes and scale.
At Integration, our differential centers on embedding our work in the daily reality of our clients. For us, there is no other way to understand the challenges and complexities a business is facing. We believe this dedication to knowing our clients’ realities is the key to bespoke recommendations that generate true, lasting transformation.
From this perspective, although discussions about out-of-stock inventory are nothing new, we find they are increasingly important in today’s retail landscape. Companies are facing unprecedented challenges due to disruptions in e-commerce, consumer expectations and digital transformation, and testing new tools and ways of managing the entire value chain—as we frequently hear in the industry, customers “want what they want, when they want it.”
