Initial challenge

Albert faced difficulty managing inventory across many stores. This led to unpredictable stock‑outs, outdated goods, and pricing inconsistencies. The COVID‑19 pandemic further disrupted demand forecasting.

Project goal

Build a single, unified platform to optimize stock ordering, pricing, and freshness to ensure full shelves, fair pricing, and updated inventory.

and ordering processes and define shared data requirements.

02

Design the data model

and integrations to create a single source of truth.

03
