For suppliers of Fast Moving Consumer Goods, where your products have a very short shelf life, a top priority of your operation is to make it super-easy for your salespeople and/or order-intake-team to process frequent orders from your retail store customers, and super-easy for those same customers of yours to submit their orders, and get real-time insight into your stock availability.
THE CHALLENGE WITH FMCG ORDERING
Quite often, your customers’ stores do not have a lot of staff on premises. Smaller convenience stores in particular, may have just one person fulfilling multiple duties during their shift: stocking shelves, answering the phone, cooking food, and acting as cashier. They don’t have much time for a lengthy inventory analysis and purchase-order submission process. The quicker and easier they can place an order, the better.
