How Artificial Intelligence Improves Execution at the Point of Sale and Optimizes Stock

In retail stores, point-of-sale marketing is a key factor for the success of brands and companies. Ensuring the availability and correct presentation of products on the shelves not only impacts on sales, but also on customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed this process, providing advanced tools that optimize execution at the point of sale, improving decision-making and productivity in store.

What challenges do brands and retailers face in-store execution?

The efficient store space management of point-of-sale execution poses various challenges that can affect the profitability and competitiveness of companies. Among the most relevant are:

Lack of real-time visibility

Some of the main obstacles are the absence of updated information on the availability on the shelf, the lack of compliance with planograms or the absence of promotional materials, which directly impacts sales and the consumer experience. Without real-time data, it is difficult to identify stock failures or problems in the arrangement of products.

This can lead to lost sales and a negative customer experience. In addition, the lack of visibility hinders the correct implementation of marketing and merchandising strategies, reducing the impact of commercial initiatives.

Human errors in the replenishment of products

Manual replenishment of stock carries risks of errors, such as omissions or incorrect placement of products. These failures can lead to stockouts or an inadequate presentation, affecting the perception of your brand and sales.

Even with standardized procedures, the lack of supervision and control can cause these errors to multiply and become a recurring problem.

Inconsistent promotional executions

Promotions and campaigns require uniform commercial execution at all points of sale to maximize their impact and ensure an optimal return on investment (ROI). However, the lack of real-time retail store tracking and auditing can lead to significant deviations in implementation, resulting in misplaced materials on shelves, promotions not activated correctly or non-compliance with commercial agreements. High operating costs Inefficiency in product replenishment and in-store execution increases operating costs. Manual processes, recurring errors and lack of automation not only slow down operations, but also lead to unnecessary expenses that directly affect the profitability of the business.

In addition, the lack of integration between in-store space management systems prevents full visibility of performance at the point of sale, which can result in inefficient allocation of resources, waste of inventory and poor replenishments. This not only impacts the productivity of the teams, but also affects the customer experience and the responsiveness to market demand.
