Key Challenges in Grocery & CPG
The unique hurdles that are limiting your profitability
Food Waste & Spoilage
Perishable inventory management creates significant waste, with the average grocer losing 12-15% of fresh inventory to spoilage.
Overstocking & Stockouts
Achieving the right balance between availability and excess inventory remains a constant challenge in highly variable categories.
Inefficient Order Forecasting
Manual forecasting methods fail to account for complex variables like seasonality, weather, local events, and emerging trends.
Margin Pressure
Thin grocery margins (typically 1-3%) are further eroded by waste, markdowns, and inefficient operations.
