Solving Retail Out-of-Stocks: Are We There Yet?

IRI Expert Reveals Latest Advances in Retail Execution to Drive Improved Performance at Shelf
WHO: Craig Silverman, EVP of Business Performance Solutions, Information Resources, Inc.

WHAT: Industry estimates indicate that most consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers lose between 8 – 10% of revenue per year due to out-of-stocks. To address this increasing dilemma, leading retail execution expert Craig Silverman presents “Solving Out-of-Stocks: Are We There Yet?” delivering a review of the latest retail execution strategies and solutions to reduce out-of-stocks, improve promotion effectiveness and achieve consistent and rapid new product introduction distribution intelligence.

WHY: Over $6 billion dollars is drained from the CPG and retail industry every year in the U.S. because of out-of-stocks according to estimates from the Grocery Manufacturers of America — six billion that the industry can ill afford. Addressing the majority of today’s out-of-stock situations requires access to daily data from retailers – a new paradigm in marketplace information. This presentation details IRI’s new Retail Performance Management Solutions that help pin-point out-of-stock situations, store-by-store, with the use of daily data collected from today’s leading retailers. Retailers, as well as Direct Store Delivery (DSD) and Warehouse-based CPG manufacturers will learn how the root-causes of out-of-stocks, such as shelf-space, order quantity, or warehouse delivery logistics are essential to resolving today’s retail execution issues and improving petformance.

WHEN: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 11:15 AM – 12:00 PM (EDT)

WHERE: Grocery Manufacturers of America
