Every product matters in pet care. Shake Hands, a leading pet food and accessories brand from Mumbai, had a long history of helping the pet parent find what he needs. With a growing chain of stores and an equally vast range of products, keeping the stock at an optimum level was getting difficult for them. That’s when they came together with Supplymint and transformed their inventory management using the Automated Replenishment System (ARS).
The Problem: Stock vs. Sales
Being a market leader in the pet care industry, Shake Hands faced two major issues:
● Stockouts: It lost sales and did not have an ideal customer experience as it ran out of some high-demand items.
● Manual Purchase Orders: Traditional methods used for replenishment created inefficiencies and delays in replenishment, making it more difficult to meet customers’ demands in a timely manner.
The Solution: Automation with Supplymint’s ARS
To address these challenges, Shake Hands implemented Supplymint’s Automated Replenishment System. This advanced tool offered:
● Automatic Purchase Order Generation: Based on real-time stock levels and sales data, the system identifies replenishment needs and automatically raises purchase orders for the required stock.
● Vendor Mapping: The ARS mapped Shake Hands’ vendor network, ensuring that the right products are ordered from the right suppliers without delays.
● Predictive Analytics: The system uses sales trends and historical data to predict future demand, thus enabling Shake Hands to be one step ahead of stock requirements.
