Fresh & Inventory Operations
Close the gap between ordering, production, and what's actually on the shelf.
Production-planning and CAO/CGO tools can tell a store what to order. They can't enforce the schematic compliance, PLU discipline, and shelf-life standards that determine whether that order ever becomes margin. That's the execution layer — and it's ours.
Six workstreams, applied to your specific gap.
Production Planning
Software-agnostic production planning using store-specific historical POS data; central forecast administrator development; ingredient and recipe management.
Merchandise Strategy & Standards
Space-to-sales analysis and planograms, activity-based costing and product profitability, core item selection by store cluster.
Ordering & Inventory Management
Informed-ordering best practices, order-to-delivery cycle time and frequency, lean inventory and sell-through.
Operational Readiness & Simplification
Workflow analysis for culling, cleaning, and production; elimination of non-value-added tasks; opening and closing procedures.
Selling Opportunities & Effectiveness
Display standards for fresher product and longer shelf life, space-to-sales fit for selling patterns, traffic-flow-informed display placement.
Shrink, Other Loss & Risk Controls
Known-loss capture and markdown controls, scale tare-weight accuracy, product ID accuracy at POS.
Ranges reflect typical results across tSCG's engagement history, not a single client.
Delivered through either path.
Whether this starts as a 72-Hour Diagnostic or a full Foundations build depends on where you're starting — not this pillar specifically.
