Digital Retail Stock Outage System

When a company is impacted by a product shortage, it interferes with several aspects of their business. For example, they may face an increase in customers trying to contact the store inquiring about the product. This ties up phone lines, social media messaging, support centers, and prevents store employees from completing other important tasks. Finding a way to contact interested customers when products become available while also managing scalping is vital for many retail businesses. Implementing a digital solution can achieve this outcome, without a dramatic increase in costs or time investment. 

SimplyCast presents the Retail Stock Outage use case, an automated solution to streamline the digital tools required to manage the product shortage system.  

Benefits of a Digital Solution 

By automating the retail stock outage system, businesses can be assured their customers are kept up to date on product information, and their employees will have fewer manual tasks to complete. This solution makes use of online forms and other relevant digital tools to ensure that communication between customers and suppliers is efficient and approachable. 

Allows Employees to Focus on Store 

The automated system takes pressure off retail employees and allows them to focus on other store-based tasks that need to be completed. They won’t have to take time to answer frequently asked questions from customers about certain products, whether that be phone calls, social media messages, emails, etc. 

Checks Stock Database 

When products face a shortage, the digital solution will keep tabs on any updates regarding availability. This system will notify customers who signed up for a list when new stock has arrived, assuring they are kept up to date and can receive their desired product in a timely manner.
