Case Study: National Supplier reduces shrink and enables M&A strategy with ReposiTrak

National Supplier Reduces Shrink and Enables M&A Strategy

National Supplier, a nationally recognized baker, grew through mergers and acquisitions but inherited multiple distribution and technology systems that didn’t communicate with each other. This made reporting manual and cumbersome, especially across independent operators. ReposiTrak helped address this challenge with visibility and analytics, scan-based trading (SBT), and universal system exchange.

ReposiTrak implemented standardized reporting, shrink tracking, item/store sales monitoring, perpetual inventory, and data harmonization across systems to support analysis and planning. As a result, National Supplier reduced shrink to 0.3%, well below the industry average, saved thousands of dollars and man hours by avoiding system upgrades, and was able to continue its M&A strategy.
