Case Study: Grand Cru reduces inventory and shortages with Onebeat

Resolving high inventory levels caused by inefficient replenishment

Grand Cru, the largest wine import and distribution company in Latin America, faced significant inventory management challenges. Their vast product variety led to ineffective replenishment, widespread stock shortages, and considerable financial losses from wine oxidation. This created operational difficulties at both the store and headquarters level due to a lack of visibility and an unbalanced supply chain. They turned to vendor Onebeat for a solution.

Onebeat implemented its real-time learning algorithm, which integrated multiple SKU and FIFO management to automate store replenishment based on real demand. This solution from Onebeat delivered major results, including a 25% reduction in inventory value, a 50% decrease in shortages, and an increase in GMROI of up to 3x per store. These improvements streamlined operations and allowed Grand Cru to better manage its product variety while significantly reducing waste.
