"Ailet came with a business proposal that was different to our business need, focused on taking photos in every visit, but with our broad levels of category it will imply a quantity of data we cannot process yet.

We adapted Ailet proposal to help us measure, with the current frequency (2 per per month) our execution, and it worked very well. Now we’re evaluating other use cases"

Nestlé has been present in Argentina uninterruptedly for 90 years. Nestlé has seven plants located in Córdoba, Santa Fe, Mendoza and the Province of Buenos Aires and headquarters located in Vicente López, where more than 2,200 collaborators work.
ISSUES

In 2020 Nestlé relied only on audit reports made by third parties, now in the same minute of the store visit, the promoters and Nestlé management has access to Ailet portal, where the main KPIs of the stores, are available.

Nestlé Argentina has finally a viable option to adopt AI on a large scale.


RESULTS

Even more, instead of receiving weekly price reports from third parties, now in the same minute of the store visit, the promoters and Nestlé management has access to Ailet dashboard. Ailet provides a convenient dashboard solution accessible through their portal with reliable and accurate data.

Best of all, now that the all SKUs are recognized all the Nestlé own and distributors salesforce will have the possibility of using this functionality.
