What is Stock Refill?
Stock Refill helps you take complete control of your inventory and prevents revenue loss caused by stock shortages. By providing real-time notifications to your team, it ensures timely replenishment and keeps shelves consistently well-stocked. This proactive approach enhances customer satisfaction while streamlining store operations.
Example:
Consider a typical supermarket setup: All purchasing and bulk storage happen in a godown, while the retail store contains multiple racks and shelves arranged by product type and brand. When shelves are empty, customers perceive the product as unavailable, which negatively impacts both sales and brand trust.
To overcome this challenge, Gofrugal has developed GoSure Stock Refill, a smart and systematic solution for shelf-level replenishment.
How GoSure Stock Refill Works
You can configure Picking Locations (e.g., godown or backroom) and Refill Locations (racks, shelves, or bins in the store).
Refillers are mapped to specific picking and refilling locations.
Items are individually mapped to their respective picking and refilling locations with defined:
Minimum Stock Quantity
Maximum Stock Quantity, based on the storage capacity of the refill location.
Automated Refill Process
When the stock at a refill location falls below the minimum quantity, a refill task is automatically assigned to the mapped refiller.
The refiller completes the picking and refilling task using the mobile app.
Once the task is completed, stock is automatically transferred from the godown to the respective refill location in the system, ensuring real-time inventory accuracy.
Additional Flexibility
Manual stock refill tasks can be assigned to a refiller at any time, providing full operational control when required.
By ensuring timely replenishment at the shelf level, GoSure Stock Refill eliminates empty shelves, improves coordination between warehouse and store teams, and delivers a consistently positive shopping experience for customers.
