Inefficiencies Due To Lack Of Inventory Tracking

If you are running your processes manually or through disconnected systems, you will struggle to track your inventory, which results in inventory losses, missing opportunities due to product shortages, or meeting customer expectations with delivery.

No Real-Time Insight Due To Disconnected Processes

If your processes are currently manual or use siloed systems, you will be spending a significant amount of time resolving discrepancies. You will plan based on inaccurate data, and the information can’t be real-time.

Omni-Channel Issues Due To Disconnected Stores

The omnichannel business model is ever evolving with the changing consumer preferences. Traditionally retailers could manage with customer-less ERP systems. But eCommerce and omnichannel experience require you to process your transactions through centralized systems to exploit opportunities available through omnichannel.

Inability To Grow Without Integration With Your Customers And Suppliers

If you are selling to a big-box retailers or an OEM, they will not work with you unless you have the capabilities to integrate with their systems. If your suppliers are equally larger, they might not do business with you if your processes are manual.

Inability To Penetrate Wholesale And Marketplace Channels

You may have been thinking of selling through marketplaces or distributors as the growth could be harder purely from the consumer-centric offerings. But the new business model requires you to enhance your operational capabilities and grow your system architecture.

Inefficient Warehouse Processes

Warehouse efficiency drives the competitiveness for retailers. You need to implement efficient picking processes such as batch or wave picking, otherwise, your customer lead time is likely to be higher. Without barcode readers, your manual methods will be highly slow and inefficient

Losses Due To Lack Of Supplier Quality Management

Not all suppliers could be equally trustworthy. You need quality management processes while receiving the suppliers’ products to take appropriate corrective action for the material. These manual quality processes will slow down your procurement processes and may lead to financial losses.

Inability To Build Consensus Among Teams

With growth, your system footprint is likely to grow exponentially. Each team including merchandising, planning, commerce, warehouse, and procurement might be using their preferred systems. And building consensus might be impossible. KANO uses a scientific process to coach the implications of each decision and gets buy-in from each team prior to selecting systems.

Locked Up Cash With Inefficient Processes

Suppose you don’t have a retail ERP system that supports advanced retail transactions such as Dropshipping, Consignment Warehouses, and Cross Docking. In that case, you will need to stock inventory levels unnecessarily, which will result in locked up cash in your inventory. CTA.
