Shoppers encounter an out-of-stock (OOS) as often as once in three shopping trips, according to IHL Group research. On-shelf availability (OSA) is the biggest challenge in Retail as retailers miss out on nearly $1 trillion in global sales because they do not have on-hand what customers want to buy in their stores.
The On-Shelf Availability accelerator co-created by Tredence and Databricks promotes real-time out-of-stock alerts, enables retailers to optimize on-shelf availability and identifies root-cause drivers of out-of-stock to improve day-to-day sales. The accelerator is a robust foundation of best practices, quick-start guides and notebooks for a full out-of-stock or supply chain solution.
As a result of the partnership, enterprise organizations will:
- Identify historical out of stocks
- Predict out of stock risks
- Create automated and accurate out of stock alert models
- Equip retail associates to act quickly and replenish shelves
- Quantify the business value to improve on-shelf availability
Tredence is focused on solving the last mile problem in analytics and works with the largest retailers on the planet to understand the nuances of modeling out-of-stock (OOS). Databricks’ Lakehouse Platform helps organizations accelerate innovation by unifying data teams with an open and scalable platform for all their data-driven use cases.
