Retail needs to have goods available where the customer is shopping

In-store, in the warehouse, and online. For it to work, orders, deliveries, goods receipts, invoices, and supplier data must all be interconnected.

GRiT helps retail companies unify this flow across their supply network.

Retail is under constant pressure regarding product availability, replenishment speed, and precise planning. Customers expect goods to be available exactly where they are shopping. At the same time, retailers must manage promotions, price changes, seasonality, rapid demand fluctuations, and a large number of suppliers.

It only takes a supplier confirming only part of an order, sending a different price, or delivering different packaging than the system expects. Product range changes aren't updated in time, EANs don't match, or batch and expiration data are missing. The goods may be physically in the warehouse, but they cannot be quickly received, moved to the store, released for the e-shop, or accounted for correctly.

For a single delivery, this is just an inconvenience. With hundreds of suppliers, thousands of items, and a high volume of documents, it becomes a bottleneck that slows down inventory turnover, burdens the team, and obscures visibility into stock and cash flow.

Product availability depends on the quality of supplier data

Purchasing needs to know what the supplier has actually confirmed. The warehouse needs to see in advance what is arriving and in what volume. Logistics must plan capacity. Finance needs to match invoices with what was ordered and received. Sales manages customer availability and promotions, which must be based on actual stock levels.

When this data isn't integrated, every team has to verify the status independently. This leads to an increase in inquiries, manual checks, and corrections, delaying decisions until the impact is felt in sales, costs, or inventory levels. The company has systems in place, but there is still work between them that must be handled manually by people.

Unified business data exchange helps ensure that information about orders, deliveries, prices, and product range changes reaches partners on time and in a consistent format. Retailers can then respond faster to demand shifts, plan inventory more effectively, reduce delays in goods receipt, and more accurately evaluate which suppliers are performing reliably.
