OOS report for retailers
Minimizing stock outs is never a coincidence — it’s the outcome of teamwork supported by strong analytics. With the right out of stock report, retail managers can see where products are missing, understand why it happens, and take action before sales are lost.

Business risks behind stock outs
Direct revenue loss
Every stock out means immediate missed sales. Customers who cannot find the product often switch to competitors, which directly reduces store revenue.
Distorted demand forecasting
Out of stock situations interrupt the natural flow of sales data. This leads to inaccurate forecasts and complicates future replenishment planning.
Inefficient marketing spend
When promoted items are unavailable, marketing investments lose their effect. Campaigns drive traffic, but without the product, stores fail to capture the expected return.
Negative customer perception
Shoppers expect availability. Frequent stock outs damage trust in the store’s reliability and weaken brand reputation over time.
Impact on basket value
The absence of one product often reduces sales of related items. If a key product is missing, the overall basket size declines, lowering total profitability.
Supply chain disruptions
Frequent stock outs signal deeper issues in replenishment and supplier coordination. Without clear visibility, delays and mismatches multiply across the entire supply chain.
