Integrated. Intelligent. Insightful.
Retailers Take a New Approach to Addressing
Out-of-Stocks
Part 3 in three-part series.
In Part 1 of this discussion on how retailers can reduce
out-of-stocks and improve merchandise availability, we discussed the
new market realities facing retailers, including tighter margins,
shifting shopper behavior and the need for hyper-accurate inventory
availability status. In part 2, we covered how innovative
retailers are taking an integrated, intelligent and insightful
approach to addressing issues related to inventory management and
shrink management in a cohesive manner, often using RFID technology
to achieve their most important goals.
Checkpoint’s
Intelligent Merchandise Availability Program (iMAP)
In order to deploy and fully leverage merchandise
availability solutions that are integrated, intelligent
and insightful, retailers need to identify and work with
a technology partner with both extensive experience in
solving retailers’ most important problems and the
ability to deploy and support integrated technologies.
Specifically, retailers are seeking technology partners
that can:
● Offer a range of
solutions that work together to improve
merchandise availability, from RFID-based
merchandise visibility software to
attractive and secure display merchandising,
to shrink management hardware, software and
support services. |
● Plan, install and
service retail systems, locally, nationally
and globally. |
● Continuously innovate
in order to deliver cutting-edge solutions
that help sell more and lose less, based on
effective retail technologies such as RFID,
Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS),
integrated apparel tags, IP networking,
advanced -detection systems, proven
high-theft solutions, attractive and
flexible display merchandising systems and
data analytics software. |
● Bring decades of proven
experience in identifying and solving
retailers’ most vexing problems that
contribute to out-of-stock situations and
negatively impact the shopper's experience. |
Checkpoint Systems’ iMAP – Intelligent Merchandise
Availability Program – does just that. The iMAP approach
combines hardware, software, services and data analytics
to measure and predict performance, resulting in an
efficient, synergistic set of processes and solutions
that ultimately helps retailers sell more, lose less and
enhance the shopping experience. Every aspect of iMAP is
designed to help retailers achieve their critical goal
of improving merchandise availability. By following the
iMAP process, retailers will be able to identify areas
of strength and weaknesses at their stores, implement
solutions to enhance or correct each of them, and
measure the impact each of those is having on the
store's bottom line.
