Business Challenge:
A large retail chain was facing challenges with inaccurate inventory counts, leading to stock discrepancies, missed sales opportunities, and potential loss from theft or mismanagement. Traditional inventory audits were manual, time-consuming, and often led to delays in identifying discrepancies, resulting in excess inventory or stock shortages. The company needed a solution to improve the accuracy of its inventory, reduce the risk of theft, and ensure that stock levels were always up to date without relying on labor-intensive manual processes.
Solution:
Syntes AI implemented an AI-driven real-time inventory audit platform that continuously monitored and audited the company’s stock levels across all store locations. The platform used machine learning algorithms to track inventory movements, detect discrepancies, and identify potential loss or theft in real time. By integrating data from point-of-sale systems, warehouse management, and supply chain operations, the platform ensured that inventory counts were always accurate and aligned with actual stock levels. This proactive approach allowed the company to address issues immediately, reduce shrinkage, and ensure that stock levels matched demand.
