Retail runs on yesterday’s data

Every day, supermarkets make decisions on outdated data — by midday shelves are empty, and by the end of the day, the losses are already locked in.

Delayed data

Manual audits and ERP updates happen too late.
Decisions are made 8–12 hours behind reality.

Dead stock

Items sit in the system but never move in reality.

Out-of-stock (OOS)

Products are missing on shelves while still “available” in the system.

Phantom inventory

ERP shows stock that doesn’t exist on the shelf.

No real-time visibility

No system knows what is actually happening in-store right now.

No real-time ground truth → no control → lost sales.

RFID → expensive
