How to Improve On-Shelf Availability for CPG Brands

On-shelf or out-of-stock? For consumer package goods (CPG) brands, the answer depends on how well you read demand signals. Reliable on-shelf availability begins with collecting the right retail data: point-of-sale (POS), inventory levels, consumer shopping behaviors, and promotional activity –then transforming that raw information into actionable insights. The challenge: retail data frequency, formats, hierarchies and points of access vary. The sheer volume of data from multiple retailers, mismatched SKUs, and manual processes can cause delays, a lot of noise, and a risk of errors. That leaves forecasts built on guesswork, not the most current reality. The fallout? Stockouts, overstocks, missed sales, and a drop in on-shelf availability.

The moment an order is booked, the clock starts ticking, and every part of the supply chain must respond in perfect coordination. It’s like walking a tightrope where any misstep ripples through to the end result. What makes this even harder is the fragmented nature of business functions and systems. Supplier procurement might happen in one tool, production planning in another, and fulfillment tracked elsewhere. The result is predictable: delays, misalignment, and a constant scramble to react instead of p...
