The Challenge: An FMCG distributor lost significant margin to product expiry and waste—slow-moving inventory sitting in warehouses until it couldn't be sold. By the time they noticed, it was too late to move it at any price.

The AI Solution: An AI agent tracks every SKU's expiry date and sales velocity. It flags at-risk inventory early—weeks before expiry—and suggests actions: targeted promotions to specific accounts, bundling with fast movers, or geographic redistribution to areas where it'll sell. It predicts which products will expire before selling and alerts you when to stop ordering.

The Results & ROI:

  • Immediate benefit: Sell products before they become waste, not after

  • Short-term ROI: Potentially reduce waste and expiry losses by 40-70%

  • Why zero risk: Act on early warnings instead of discovering expired stock

Why This Beats Competition: Your competitor discovers expired stock during monthly inventory check and writes it off. You got an alert 3 weeks ago, ran a targeted promotion, and sold it at slight discount instead of 100% loss. Who's protecting margin?
