PUNE, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA, February 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In this communiqué, supermarket consulting experts of retail and eCommerce consulting firm – YRC (YourRetailCoach) break down the importance of digitisation for every small and big supermarket business in three simple points.

In supermarkets where inventory management is predominantly manual, employees have to physically visit and assess every shelf, freeze, freezer, and rack to record the inventory levels. Then it must be repeated for measuring stock in the storage rooms as well. Even in a small supermarket, this can turn out to be a time-consuming task because of the wide array of products/SKUs that can fit into a small space. With the digitisation of inventory records and the use of inventory management software, keeping track of inventory levels on shelves and in storage can be done from one place i.e. one digital interface. This also makes the process of placing reorders significantly easier.

Digitisation leads to the generation of internal business data. This data serves as inputs for data analytics in numerous areas of business like analysis of product performance, demand prediction, understanding consumer behaviour, formulation of personalisation strategies, making purchase and replenishment decisions, and price adjustments. For example, analytics could make it easier to uncover which products/SKUs are responding better to price adjustments. This helps supermarket stores get closer to the optimum price range of products.

Veteran supermarket consultants across the world often echo the need for businesses to go digital and this digitisation is a stepping stone to embrace automation. Accomplishing automation becomes easier for supermarket businesses when their operations are aided by digital systems. This is because 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 run and rely on digital data. For example, if a supermarket auto replenishment solution has to be implemented, it needs to be connected and integrated with a digital database that contains the necessary information. Another important requirement for supermarket automation is having a robust 𝗦𝗢𝗣-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 framework. Being in the field of 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 for more than a decade, YRC maintains that SOP adoption is critical for embracing digitisation and automation.
