• high staff turnover
• high staff absenteeism
• increasing number of mistakes made by their own delivery staff
• poor stock control

For this kind of business, continuous monitoring can be quite advantageous when multiple area locations are in operation, as it allowed for “item locator” services and inter-store transfers to be possible. Additionally, Alliance Supermarkets’ Chief Information Officer, Merchandisers, and Purchasing Managers can analyze the inventory levels for specific products between locations, along with variances in purchasing trends between the locations. With such information, the firm can implement inter-store transfers to properly distribute merchandise to the locations high rapid sales performance for a given product.
