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.
