Challenges of our customers in the grocery retail sector
- High Number of Similar but Not Identical Furniture: For example, different refrigerators with slightly varying dimensions and specifications.
- Lack of Traceability in Furniture Transfer: Furniture was often relocated between branches without documenting their location or condition (refrigerators, scales...)
- Specialized Furniture with Individual Requirements: Checkout systems with different widths, advertising spaces over fruit and vegetable departments or other custom-made facilities required precise measurements.
- Laborious Data Collection for Rebranding: In the case of necessary rebranding, exact sizes were not available, so they had to be manually recorded – a process that often took several months.
Optimizations through the Store Lifecycle Tool (SLT)
- Immediate Inventory of All Important Furniture and Advertising Spaces: The key elements were directly recorded in the SLT and provided with the corresponding data.
- Efficient Data Collection for Unknown Measurements: If furniture or advertising spaces were recorded without known measurements, employees in the branches automatically received a task to measure them on-site and enter the data.
- Quick and Easy Use for All Employees: Thanks to the intuitive operation of the SLT, every employee – even without extensive training – can immediately work with the tool.
Through these improvements, the furniture and advertising space inventory is transparent at all times, and tracking and branding processes are more efficient and time-saving.
