    Convenience Stores were able to Generate Automated Draft Sales Orders Across North America

Customer Key Facts

  • Location : North America
  • Industry : IT Services for Coca-Cola Bottlers

Problem Context

Coca-Cola Bottlers were spending a significant amount of OPEX on daily sales visits of account managers to 150,000+ convenience retail stores across North America. On top of that, a significant amount of money was spent on managing contract employees during vacation periods for account managers.
The sales visit process was time-consuming and prone to errors due to the manual counting of every item in the store. Also, inaccurate orders were causing significant stock-outs and customer returns.

 

Challenges

 

  • ~0.1 billion SKU-store combinations
  • Products with very low purchase frequency
  • Non-uniformity of sales pattern of products across customers (stores)
  • Unexplained outliers due to promotions and other reasons
