How Shelf Engine Increased Sales by 59% for a Major Convenience Store Retailer

The major convenience store retailer faced significant challenges with stockouts, a product mix that did not align with consumer demand for fresh foods, and a high shrink rate of over 34% for its perishable inventory. Shelf Engine was engaged to address these issues with its intelligent forecasting and inventory management service.

Shelf Engine implemented a solution featuring probabilistic forecasting models and a scan-based trade agreement that eliminated the retailer's inventory risk. This approach, combined with SKU rationalization and professional field audits, drove a 59% sales increase for the fresh category and an immediate 50% improvement in storewide profit across the 125 locations.
