Supermarket Inventory Automation

Grocery stores face unique inventory challenges: perishable goods, seasonal demand, thin margins, and complex supply chains. Afto helps supermarkets automate inventory management and reduce waste. The average grocery store loses 10-15 percent of inventory to waste and stockouts cost millions in lost sales.

Smart Inventory Tracking: Real-time stock levels from POS integration, automatic reorder points based on sales velocity, expiration date tracking for perishables, predictive demand forecasting using AI. Result: 40 percent reduction in stockouts, 25 percent reduction in waste.

Supplier Integration: Automated purchase orders sent to suppliers, delivery scheduling and tracking, invoice matching and reconciliation, supplier performance analytics. Integration with major distributors like Sysco, US Foods, and local suppliers.

Case Study - FreshMart Grocery: 5 locations, 10000+ SKUs per store. Before Afto: manual inventory counts taking 8 hours per week, frequent stockouts of popular items, 12 percent waste rate on produce. After Afto: automated inventory tracking, predictive reordering, waste reduced to 7 percent. Impact: Saved 30 hours per week, increased sales by 15 percent, reduced waste by $5000 per month per store. Ready to optimize your inventory? Contact us at /contact
