Stock Accuracy and Omnichannel Fulfilment
How a regular stock-count cadence and ship-from-store rules could tighten availability across stores and online.
The challenge
Stock inaccuracies across stores were causing cancelled orders and poor customer experience. Limited ability to fulfil online orders from store inventory.
Our approach
- 01Mapped current inventory workflows and shrink drivers across DC and stores
- 02Implemented weekly cycle counts and exception-based recounts
- 03Integrated POS and eCommerce to enable ship-from-store with rules
- 04Trained staff and added visual KPI boards for accountability
The solution
A lightweight stock integrity cadence, integrated systems for real-time availability, and SOPs for ship-from-store with thresholds by store class.
