Case Study: Leading Convenience Store Retailer achieves 30% reduction in out-of-stock and 8% revenue increase with Algonomy's Vendor Link

A leading convenience store retailer based out of North America

Leading Convenience Store Retailer, a North American chain operating 600+ truck stops and convenience stores across 40+ states with 900+ suppliers, faced frequent stockouts, a 48-hour inventory visibility lag, fragmented supplier-funded promotions and rebate processes, and ad hoc data sharing. To create greater transparency and scale supplier collaboration, the retailer engaged Algonomy and its Vendor Link platform to drive a data-driven, real-time supplier ecosystem.

Algonomy’s Vendor Link delivered end-to-end supplier collaboration with real-time inventory visibility, ML-based predictive out-of-stock alerts, API-based pricing/promotions/rebate integration, and automated invoice/payment tracking, while opening data-monetization opportunities for suppliers. As a result, the retailer saw a 30% reduction in out-of-stock, an 8% increase in revenue, a 5% reduction in inventory carrying cost, a 15% increase in supplier-funded promotions, $2 million in additional rebates, and $1.8 million in potential revenue from data monetization.
