Stock That Moves Fast Deserves Faster Tracking

A supermarket carries thousands of items across grocery, dairy, produce and FMCG, many of them perishable and some barely staying on the shelf a day. TCB Infotech tracks stock by category and expiry, automates reordering for the items that move fastest, and connects checkout data to your existing ERP.

Why Category-Level Is Different

Grocery, Dairy and FMCG Do Not Behave the Same Way

Perishable Reality

Grocery stock and dairy stock do not behave the same way

A supermarket's stock problem is really several problems at once: long shelf-life FMCG, perishable dairy and produce, and fast-moving items that sell out before a weekly count catches it. TCB Infotech tracks stock by category so expiry-sensitive items get the attention they need without treating every product the same way.

  • Stock and expiry tracked by category, not one bulk count.
  • Fast-moving items flagged before they run out.
  • Perishable stock handled differently from long shelf-life goods.

Checkout to ERP

Checkout data connected to your ERP, not reconciled by hand

Most supermarkets already run an ERP and checkout system, the gap is getting sales data from every checkout lane into that ERP without a manual end-of-day reconciliation. TCB Infotech connects to your existing ERP and POS, builds the custom software your category-level workflow needs, and adds AI automation for reorder decisions on fast-moving stock.

  • Checkout sales sync to your existing ERP automatically.
  • Custom software for category-specific tracking gaps.
  • AI-assisted reorder points for fast-moving and perishable stock.

FAQ

Supermarkets, Answered

What does TCB Infotech do for supermarkets?
We connect your existing ERP and checkout systems, build the custom software your category-level stock and expiry tracking needs, and add AI automation for reorder decisions on fast-moving items, so stock is visible by category rather than as one flat count.
Does this replace our existing ERP or POS?
No. The system connects to your existing ERP and checkout systems rather than replacing them, so checkout lanes keep working as they do today while stock data flows into one place.
Can expiry dates and fast-moving stock be tracked differently from long shelf-life goods?
Yes. Perishable and fast-moving categories are tracked with expiry and sell-through in mind, while long shelf-life FMCG stock is tracked on a slower reorder cycle, so neither is forced onto the same rule.
How long does a supermarket engagement usually take?
Most engagements move from mapping your current category and checkout workflow to a working pilot within a few months, with scope and timeline confirmed after we review your product range and systems.
What happens after the system goes live?
The same team that built the system stays available for support and changes as your product range, supplier list or store count grows.
Can ERP integration, custom software and AI be combined into one engagement?
Yes. Most supermarket engagements combine ERP or checkout integration, a piece of custom software for category-specific tracking, and AI automation for reorder decisions, scoped as one project.

How TCB Infotech Tracks Supermarket Stock

From category-level stock counts to automated reorders on fast-moving items. Here is what the system tracks for a supermarket.

Core Process

Category Tracking, Expiry Monitoring and Checkout Sync

Category Tracking

Stock split by category instead of one flat count

Grocery, dairy, produce and FMCG are tracked as separate categories with their own stock levels and reorder logic, so a fast-moving dairy item and a slow-moving FMCG item are not managed the same way.

  • Stock levels tracked per category.
  • Reorder logic set per category, not store-wide.
  • Category performance visible on its own.

Expiry and Wastage

Expiry dates monitored by batch, wastage tracked by category

Batches are tracked with their expiry dates so near-date stock is flagged for markdown or priority sale before it becomes wastage, and wastage or shrinkage is tracked by category so the cause is visible.

  • Batch-level expiry tracking.
  • Near-date stock flagged automatically.
  • Wastage and shrinkage visible by category.

Checkout and Vendors

Checkout sales and vendor stock connected to the same system

Sales from every checkout lane sync to your ERP without manual reconciliation, and each stock line stays connected to the vendor or local supplier it came from, down to the batch.

  • Checkout sales sync automatically.
  • Vendor and supplier tracked per batch.
  • No manual end-of-day reconciliation.
