This edition we bring focus to 2 patterns that empower workforce
|
Stock-outs Lead to Walk Outs
Large scale research has shown that when consumers did not find the exact item they wanted, nearly one third went to another store to buy the product, while less than half bought a substitute. Abandoned purchases translate to 4% sales loss for a retailer and for retail giants near $40 million loss in a year. Product Out of Stock (POS) is attributed to inadequate untimely shelf replenishment and dependancy on outdated inventory management methods. AIVI retail identifies genuine stock outs with price tag correlation, forecasts stock outs based on insights from product depletion tracking, checks planogram vs realograms providing real time alerts to staff and recommendations for inventory stocking. |
Workplace Safety Compliance
Every company/organization has to follow predetermined safety standards set by their own respective federal and provincial agencies. This is to ensure their employees are working in a safe environment and to eliminate chances of workplace accidents, injuries, or illness. With automated monitoring and anomaly detection, computer vision software can identify safety hazards and breaches like safety equipment undetected, etc. |
