Client Overview
A leading UAE-based grocery retail chain with both offline stores and an e-commerce presence was struggling with inventory inefficiencies across multiple branches. Over-ordering certain FMCG items while understocking trending ones caused frequent stockouts, wastage, and missed sales opportunities. The client needed real-time market visibility to balance procurement and align shelf prices with competitors like Carrefour, Talabat Mart, Lulu Hypermarket, and Noon Daily.
