How a grocery retail network ended its wait for daily sales and stock numbers
This grocery retail network ran on a capable ERP that could not give leadership a daily read across sales, stock, suppliers and stores. We built a reporting layer on top of it, so the business could see daily sales and inventory across the whole network without waiting.

Challenge
A capable ERP, but no daily operational picture of sales, stock, suppliers and stores.
What we built
A reporting layer on top of the existing ERP, no replacement.
Result
Daily sales and inventory across the network, down to store and supplier.
The challenge
The network ran on a capable ERP, but it could not turn that data into a daily operational picture. Leadership wanted to see sales, stock, suppliers, stores and distribution flows every day, and instead waited on reports that lagged behind the business.
What we built
- Built a reporting layer on top of the existing ERP, without replacing it.
- Delivered daily views of sales, stock, suppliers, stores and distribution, with price analysis and ABC/XYZ.
- Trained the teams who use it, so the reporting stuck instead of sitting unused.

The outcome
Leadership got a daily read on the network instead of a lagging monthly one, with store and supplier performance visible down to the detail. Decisions on stock and pricing could be made on current numbers rather than last month’s.
Systems & technologies
Selected work from 3ALICA delivery teams. Some of these projects were delivered before 3ALICA's current US focus, but the work is the same kind we do now: practical analytics and reporting built on top of the systems a business already runs.
Before vs after
Still waiting on yesterday’s sales and stock numbers?
If your ERP cannot give you a daily operational read, we can build a reporting layer on top of it for daily sales, stock and store analytics.
