Regional Distributor Reduces Stockouts by 30% with AI Inventory

The Full Story

This regional beverage distributor was running on spreadsheets and gut feel. With 5 locations, nobody knew exactly what was in stock where. Popular items stocked out regularly, and the manual reorder process meant delays that lost sales.

We deployed unified inventory management with barcode scanning, a mobile app for warehouse staff, and AI-powered demand forecasting. Reorder alerts now trigger automatically based on sales velocity, and managers approve suggestions with one click.

The Challenge

Our Solution

Built unified inventory management with centralized database, barcode scanning at each location, automated reorder alerts based on velocity, demand forecasting, and mobile app for warehouse staff.
