Download PDFFew QSR restaurants are the same. Size and store designs vary, often presenting significant print ordering and display placement difficulties. To solve this issue, we leveraged detailed store profiles, integrating the unique attributes of each restaurant to determine print needs. Additionally, we created enhanced planograms with multiple instructions to increase display placement accuracy and consistent branding across diverse locations.
The Challenge
- Point of Purchase (POP) print management for over 7,200 restaurant locations, each with diverse store needs and requirements.
- Excess inventory and print material waste.
- Inventory inaccuracies and high printing costs.
Archway Solution
- Managed profiles to ensure each restaurant only received the marketing materials they needed.
- Created improved forecasting and budgeting of their POP Expenses.
- Developed efficiencies for streamlined freight service management and fulfillment.
- Automated an annual ordering and fulfillment program with roadmap and invoice visibility transparency.
Results
- 5% decrease in inventory from January to December 2018 and an 8% decrease in storage from January to August 2019.
- A simplified and more user-friendly ordering experience for e-store users.
- Elimination of manual BUB (bottom-up build) process used by client; switching to our system’s pre-order tool created better data for accurate forecasting.
