Grand Frais — less shrinkage, better on-shelf availability

Fresh produce distribution: fast rotation, multiple points of sale, high exposure to shrinkage. The ERP makes stock reliable from warehouse to shelf.

Context & challenge

In fresh food distribution, every point of shrinkage (breakage, expiry, discrepancies) hits the margin directly, and an empty shelf is a lost sale. With disconnected systems, stock accuracy plateaus around 80-90 % and shrinkage drifts upwards. Unifying purchasing, inventory and points of sale within a single ERP delivers reliable real-time stock, reduces shrinkage and shortens the replenishment cycle.

  • Point of Sale (POS)
