Problem statement
Live POP stock view and suggestions of suitable items and suppliers for each brief.
Today:
• POP management currently relies on a manual Excel file, making it hard to track stock levels, print in/out and actual condition. Users also spend a lot of time finding suitable POP for each project because they have to search the file and cross-check quantities themselves.
• Each POP brief requires briefing Procurement/PMG for sourcing, which is time-consuming while supplier submissions are often similar in items.
Expected outcomes and success metrics
• The solution saves search and coordination time, optimizes the use of existing POP, reduces inventory management errors, and lightens the admin workload by automatically updating and handling POP-related requests.
• The real value is maximizing reuse of existing POP, i.e. direct PFME cost savings.
• Save time and improve productivity.
Target users and impacted teams
• Brand Marketing and project teams needing POP
• Admin / POP Warehouse
• Procurement / PMG
• Trade / Shopper Marketing, Agency, Finance (PFME)
• BU (Business Unit) teams briefing POP
Data availability and readiness
• Current POP management Excel file
• Inbound/outbound information from admin
• POP usage history from previous projects
• Input from teams on actual needs and usage
• Agency & Procurement
Note: Synthetic data could be potentially provided during the process, upon approval of the Nestlé team and in compliance with data law.
Integration, deployment and infrastructure
To be determined
Note: Nestlé's current environment includes Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Copilot. Solutions that can work with this environment are welcome, and final integration and deployment requirements will be confirmed with the Nestlé team.
