Optimizing Inventory Allocation & Workforce Synchronization

A well-established national sports retailer with 200+ US locations engaged Frontais to fix poor inventory allocation within their Oracle Retail implementation and reconcile payroll with their timecard system.

01 BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Inventory out of sync, and payroll eating weeks.

Incorrect merchandise assortment and insufficient units at accurate price points meant the allocation system was out of sync with business needs. Missing and incorrect timecards between XStore and Kronos meant payroll reconciliation consumed excessive time with no automated dataflow.

02 FRONTIER TECHNOLOGY

Data science-driven allocation, synced to payroll.

We implemented Oracle Retail Allocation capability for accurate style, color and size profile allocations, and applied data science tools to optimize store inventory allocation across the Oracle Retail platform.

03 SCALED EXECUTION

A rescue mission completed ahead of schedule.

We streamlined Xstore, Xcenter and Kronos integration for time punches and payroll reconciliation, automating the POS-to-workforce dataflow and cutting the payroll reconciliation timeframe from weeks to days.

04   ACCELERATED ROI
