Executive intelligence — what to do next

Executive summary

Auto-generated · demo

Scanning reliability is strong at 99.1%, but the residual failures cluster tightly: one bad print run, one failing handheld and a small pool of unlabelled SKUs create most of the friction. All three are cheap to fix and each one directly costs lane time.

Key insights

  • Failures peak at 18:00 alongside the evening checkout rush, amplifying their impact.
  • Gwarinpa carries twice the failure rate of Apo, driven by device condition rather than product data.
  • Pharmacy batch encoding remains manual and is the weakest part of the programme.

Business risks

Manual keying at POS
Unlabelled SKUs invite price entry errors and shrink.
Device redundancy
Gwarinpa has no spare handheld during counts.

Growth opportunities

GS1-128 batch coding
Enables automatic expiry capture at goods receipt.
Print quality standard
Higher-grade label stock could cut reprints by half.
