Inventory management across various industry sectors faces complex challenges, particularly for distributors and small retailers. Excess stock and lack of demand predictability result in high costs and waste.
Today, the use of advanced technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), has become an important competitive edge in transforming these challenges into opportunities.
Key Market Challenges for Distributors and Retailers
Some of the recurring issues include:
- Excess inventory and limited space: Retailers often accumulate low-demand products, generating storage costs.
- Lack of accuracy in demand forecasting: The demand for certain products can vary greatly depending on external factors such as seasonality and market changes.
- Challenges in maintaining an up-to-date assortment: With a large variety of products, it is difficult to ensure that all items are available without incurring excess inventory.
- Supply Chain Visibility: Lack of real-time data on inventory and the flow of goods.
- Operational inefficiency: Manual processes are slow and prone to errors.
