Signals to read first

Three signals to read before the result

Gap between POS and actual inventory01

Gap between POS and actual inventory

Theoretical inventory from POS and actual shelf inventory diverge through theft, damage, and missed replenishment. A shelf can be empty even when POS says stock remains.

Restocking delays at busy hours02

Restocking delays at busy hours

During lunch and evening peaks, staff focus on checkout and customer service, so shelf replenishment is delayed. A stockout can remain unresolved for 30 to 60 minutes.

Disconnect between backroom and shelf stock03

Disconnect between backroom and shelf stock

Even when products are in the back room, replenishment does not happen unless someone checks. Night and early-morning staff may not know which shelves need attention.

Expected results

The loss created by one hour of stockout

When a popular drink or ready-to-eat item is out of stock for an hour, an average of five to eight purchase opportunities can disappear. A stockout during commuting, lunch, or evening peaks can send customers to another store, and repeated experiences can reduce visits altogether. POS shows what was sold, not what could not be sold, so the operator may not even see the size of the loss.
