How Dude Wipes Uncovered $300K in Lost Sales at Kroger

/Dude Wipes increases ROI and decreases out-of-stocks

Survey helped Dude Wipes uncover hidden availability issues, prioritize corrective action, and improve shelf performance—resulting in higher sales and stronger retailer support.

The challenge

Dude Wipes needed a faster way to identify product availability issues across its Kroger footprint and understand the true impact of out-of-stocks on sales performance.

Traditional reporting provided limited visibility into what was actually happening on shelf, making it difficult to validate issues, prioritize action, and allocate resources effectively.
