Background and challenge

The neighborhood format is sensitive to every delivery: a late or incomplete delivery quickly shows up on the shelf

Suppliers fulfilled 60–70% of orders, including late deliveries, and some orders arrived incomplete

Excess stock had to be reduced without allowing shortages on the shelf

Creating and sending orders required manual work by employees

Project Goals

Reduce excess stock

Prevent shortages and maintain on-shelf availability

Automate routine operations for creating and sending orders

Test automatic order generation under everyday supply conditions

Why ABM Inventory

Cutting excess stock often puts product availability at risk, while maintaining availability usually requires holding more stock.

In Nazilbe’s pilot store, excess stock in the analyzed assortment decreased every week of the pilot. At the same time, availability of the same products stayed high and stable throughout, within a narrow range.

How it works:

ABM Inventory – creates each new order based on actual stock in the store. So if a delivery arrives incomplete or late, the next order automatically makes up the difference.
“Red zone” safety stock – keeps products on the shelf, so the planner doesn’t have to spot the shortage first.

Progress of the project

During the pilot in Nazilbe’s largest store, automatic order generation was tested. Since then, Nazilbe has moved on to scaling, and today the system generates more than 300 automatic orders daily across all stores in the chain.

Five-week pilot in the largest store (August 10 — September 11, 2026)

Real orders to suppliers were generated through the system, and results were evaluated on products from three key suppliers. Pilot orders were launched in August, and within 4 weeks most orders were being generated automatically. In parallel with order automation, Nazilbe introduced a “red zone” safety stock buffer to protect on-shelf availability.

Scaling across the chain

The implementation has already moved to the scaling stage. Today ABM Inventory generates more than 300 orders daily across all Nazilbe stores. Every day at a set time, they are automatically sent to external suppliers and distribution centers for the entire connected assortment.

Business results

Nazilbe’s pilot shows that automatic replenishment makes it possible to reduce excess stock and maintain on-shelf availability, even when supplies are unstable. The approach is already working not in one store, but across the entire Nazilbe chain.

Qualitative changes in inventory management

Less stock, more sales: sales grew during the pilot despite lower stock levels.
Orders go out without manual sending: today ABM Inventory generates more than 300 orders daily across all Nazilbe stores. Every day at a set time, they are automatically sent to external suppliers and distribution centers for the entire connected assortment.
Planners’ time freed up: automatic order sending has already freed up several hours of planners’ working time.

Client Testimonial

Optimizing excess stock, preventing shortages and automating routine operations — that was our goal when we started implementing ABM Inventory. The system was integrated in a very short time. The ABM Cloud team is highly competent, attentive and always ready to help. We launched pilot orders in August, and within 4 weeks most orders were being generated automatically. ABM Inventory has allowed us to avoid building up excess stock while maintaining on-shelf availability. It has also helped us use our staff resources more efficiently.
