SBT BENEFITS FOR SUPPLIERS

ReposiTrak SBT provides a range of operational and financial advantages for suppliers. By enabling more efficient routing, broader receiving windows and increased time for in-store merchandising, ReposiTrak SBT helps to reduce out-of-stocks, minimize shrink and support overall sales growth.

These efficiencies, combined with access to detailed POS data and the support of ReposiTrak’s team of analysts, allow suppliers to optimize their operations, enhance product availability and strengthen collaboration with retail partners.

• Detailed Retail Sales Data & Analyst Support: Suppliers who use ReposiTrak SBT gain access to daily POS data – by store, by day, and by SKU – along with ongoing support from ReposiTrak analysts. This data enables more effective route optimization, inventory planning and product availability, and our analysts to provide actionable insights.
• Out-of-Stock Management: Our out-of-stock analytics typically deliver a 5–7% lift in top-line sales. We use historical sales data to proactively identify opportunities and improve on-shelf availability.
• Access to More Retailers: As the world’s largest SBT network, ReposiTrak can help to introduce suppliers to new retailers without the delays and friction typically involved in launching new DSD relationships.

• Faster Deliveries: Through ReposiTrak SBT, suppliers eliminate the need for manual check-ins at each delivery, saving approximately 20 minutes per stop – time that can be reinvested into merchandising, expanded routes or other priorities.
• Shrink Reduction: ReposiTrak’s platform and analyst support help to reduce shrink by identifying and addressing root causes of known loss – such as delivery errors, returns and pricing issues – through collaborative resolution tools.
• Accurate Invoicing: Our system automates and verifies pricing and invoicing, removing the need for manual reconciliation and saving time across accounting and finance teams.

• Eliminate check-in hassles at the retail store and save 20 minutes per stop, freeing up more time to dedicate to in-store merchandising.

• See sales information in near real time.
