Avoid stockouts without over-ordering
Waste and empty shelves are two sides of the same problem: demand that was not anticipated. Chopp helps stores see both coming.
Why stockouts happen
A stockout happens when demand outruns supply before the next delivery. The causes are familiar: a heatwave, a local festival, a holiday that shifts shopping to an earlier day, or simply a trend that the order pattern has not caught up with.
The usual defence is safety stock, which works but costs money and, for perishables, creates waste. A forecast that anticipates the peak lets a store carry extra stock only when it is needed.
