Optimising availability with help from SKUtrak

In brief

• Yoplait needed better visibility on product availability to improve supplier-retailer relations and help alleviate the formidable task of compiling data from multiple systems across various retailers.
• Using SKUtrak, they gained insights into depot stock and store coverage, predicting significant orders to optimise product availability. They encouraged retail partners to revise forecasts, increasing order sizes. SKUtrak also helped streamline operations by enabling Yoplait to explore options such as larger case sizes and improved order management with retail counterparts.
• The implementation of SKUtrak increased product availability in retailers like Asda and Morrisons, from 87% to 95% and 90% to 95%, respectively. This led to improved supply chain management, more accurate product line forecasts, and stronger, more collaborative relationships with retail partners, enabling quicker responses to supply changes.
