Business Challenge

A Fortune 500 retail client had no real-time visibility to track the fulfillment process and online out-of-stock inventory that was available in store but unavailable for shipping, and they also had increased technology costs associated with stores opening and closing, leading to:

  • Loss of revenue

  • Frustrated customers from poor customer experience

  • Increased inventory management costs 

  • Increased data related costs with opening new stores instead of re-opening existing stores

 

Solution

Nisum implemented multiple features in the supply chain, achieved by:

  • Building a near-real-time end-to-end supply chain view focused on estimating the inventory demand across all digital and physical retail touchpoints, using:

    • Power BI (a tool used to create reports and dashboards) for the view UI and Spring Boot and Azure SQL database on the backend, along with Azure tools

  • Providing customers with an alternate option when items are out of stock by analyzing the data of each day

  • Providing better inventory visibility and management to identify the right products to be stocked at the right store at the right time period

  • Re-using the operational location numbers of the closed stores to another location without breaking online, retail, and Omni BI applications (reads, analyzes, and reports multi-channel data)
