A national oat milk rollout was falling short of target store numbers. With Stock Checker, the team tracked progress daily, identified where the execution was off, and worked with the retailer to fix issues quickly. No waiting for scan data. No guessing. Just early visibility and faster follow-up.
When a launch doesn’t hit its rollout targets, you're on the hook. The sales forecast gets shaky. Marketing spend gets wasted. And it’s hard to answer the question: “What’s actually happening in store?”
That’s exactly what we helped solve. Using Stock Checker daily, the team could see, store by store, where distribution was falling behind on a new oat milk SKU. Instead of relying on weekly scan reports or anecdotal feedback, they had facts in front of them. In real time.
🚧 What Was at Stake
The plan was agreed. The SKU should have been live in hundreds of stores. But the numbers weren’t adding up. Some stores hadn’t ranged the product yet. Others had stock in the system but nothing on shelf.
The problem? This kind of gap doesn’t show up in scan data straight away. By the time it does, you’ve already lost weeks of sales. And it’s hard to have a conversation with a retailer when you don’t have clear, timely evidence.
🔍 What Stock Checker Delivered
With daily tracking, the team could see exactly where rollout had stalled. They could drill into stores with missing stock, investigate the reasons, and have productive conversations with retail partners, grounded in data.
They didn’t need to wait for problems to show up in a PowerPoint two weeks later. They were already fixing them.
🎯 Outcome
✅ Daily visibility of rollout progress
✅ Clear evidence to escalate issues fast
✅ More confident conversations with retailers
✅ Fewer surprises for sales and marketing leadership
This is what execution confidence looks like. Stock Checker helps sales teams get ahead of problems, not just react to them. For decision makers, that means fewer blind spots, tighter performance, and better outcomes from every launch.
