Last September, WITSIDE participated in the 10th Annual Data & AI Conference, hosted by Boussias, at OTEAcademy, alongside global industry leaders who explored the latest trends in Data, AI, and Business Intelligence.
Real Use Case. Real Impact.
We were honored to co-present a real-world case study in partnership with Core Innovations (Motor Oil Group), showcasing the implementation of an Automated Replenishment Process across their retail network.
This project addressed a fundamental challenge in convenience retail: maintaining optimal stock levels while minimizing manual workload and maximizing efficiency across more than 500 stores and 3,000+ SKUs.
The Solution
Our approach was based on four key pillars:
Forecasting Modeling & SKU Cleansing
Goods Receipt Automation
Systems Integration across ERPs and platforms
Order Proposal Algorithms, incorporating trends, business cycles, and seasonality
The result was a seamless, automated daily replenishment system that ensures smarter ordering and better shelf availability.
The Outcomes
Data speaks for itself:
43% reduction in stockouts in stores with >70% compliance
62% drop in lost sales in the same group
Daily SKU-level visibility across all retail sites
These outcomes demonstrate the effectiveness of advanced analytics and intelligent automation when tailored to meet business-specific needs.
Speakers
The case study was delivered by:
Dimitris Dimoiliopoulos, Head of Logistics at Core Innovations, Motor Oil Group
Anna Roumpelaki, Advanced Analytics Lead at WITSIDE
Their insights highlighted how cross-functional collaboration and smart technology can drive measurable success in the retail supply chain.
