Problem
Retailers and sales reps are too busy to write dozens of daily fill-in orders for each of their brands or dealers.
Locally’s ShopSense tool uses a variety of store-level signals to automate the order-writing process.
Two main types of purchase orders can be created: Auto-replenishment and assortment upgrade.
Auto-Replenishment
Just-in-Time Fill-Ins
Validate Suggestions Against Sales
Use retailer sell-through data to ensure that your suggestions are for items the retailer has previously sold and then rank the suggestions based on sales.
Use Retailer Real-Time Inventory
Tie suggested fill-in POs back to the retailer’s real-time inventory. Help them find stock-outs.
Use Local Product Demand Signals
With Locally’s demand signals, you can help retailers prioritize the fill-ins around the most sought-after products in their community.
