Having validated the journey and integrity of stock at depots, what about direct suppliers?

We often talk about efficiency in supply chain management, but how confident are we in the accuracy of stock at the final stage—our stores? Dairy error rates in some case sit above 1%, bread/bakery just under 1% (shorts only), and exports vary between 0.3% and 1.7% depending on product types. Small numbers, but in a business where every percentage point matters, are we truly optimising for accuracy?

That’s where the RAS mobile team comes in. Through targeted in-store audits, we provide a 100% valuation that can lead to improvements of over 30% within the first six months. A game changer for profitability and operational precision.

So, the real question is—are we leveraging every tool available to ensure our stores are running at peak efficiency?
