SeeCommerce Hosts Retail Webinar on Eliminating Promotional Out of Stocks Featuring AMR Research

Business Wire, July 1, 2004

WHO:    Rob Garf, Retail Analyst, AMR Research

WHAT:   Out-of-stocks (OOS) represent the single greatest challenge
        for retailers today, especially those who rely heavily on
        promotions. According to the Grocery Manufacturers of America
        (GMA), promoted items in grocery stores are out-of-stock more
        than 13% of the time. The costs and implications are
        staggering: lost sales, unhappy customers, expensive
        expedites, and dramatic inventory swings. In many instances,
        efforts to resolve OOS conditions result in a "blame-game"
        that pits store managers, planners, suppliers and logistics
        managers against each another.  The solution, as demonstrated
        by several leading retailers who have cut OOS in half,
        requires systems that can monitor operational performance at
        crucial junctures within the supply chain and link this
        information to store-level and item-level inventories.

        By attending this Webinar you will learn:

        -- Why traditional planning, forecasting, and inventory
           management solutions haven't solved the OOS problem

        -- How to identify and understand promotional OOS root causes

        -- How performance management can alert you to pending OOS
           conditions

        -- How to identify which areas of your supply chain are
           contributing to OOS

        -- How to reduce OOS dramatically in just a few months
