Reducing workload through digitization "Automatic shelf allocation function"

We have developed an "automatic shelf allocation function" in cooperation with Cyberlinx, Inc. to improve the efficiency of shelf allocation proposal activities for retailers.

"Shelf allocation" directly affects store sales

"Shelf allocation" is an important task for retailers to create effective sales areas in their stores and to increase store sales. This is an important task in creating an effective sales area in the store and leading to store sales.

Automatic shelf allocation function greatly improves the workload.

• However, because stores differ in terms of location, store size, customer base, and area characteristics, it is necessary to allocate shelves while taking into account the different conditions of each store, such as product assortment, product placement, and display quantity.
  This process was extremely complicated and resulted in a large workload (estimated at about 30,000 hours/year) for the manufacturer, wholesaler, and retailer as a whole.
  
  Considering efforts to reform work styles and the dwindling workforce, PALTAC's on-site know-how in shelf allocation operations and CyberLinks' know-how in shelf allocation systems were combined to realize effective and efficient shelf allocation proposals.
  
  The development of this functionality will enable a reduction of approximately 60% (approximately 18,000 hours/year) in terms of work hours.
  We believe that the resources thus created will lead to the creation of more attractive sales floors, an improved work-life balance, and ultimately to the development of the entire supply chain.
