Your Oracle feed, read as fill rate
Fill Rate Monitoring needs sales audit and inventory positions. Oracle has both. Ward does the rest.
Fill Rate Monitoring on Oracle Retail data
Fill Rate Monitoring. Ward monitors on-shelf availability across your entire estate and flags stores or categories dropping below threshold.
What Ward does with that: Ward tracks expected vs actual on-shelf availability at the store-category level and escalates when fill rate drops below configurable thresholds.
Setup: Ward reads from Oracle Retail via REST APIs or direct database views. Compatible with Oracle Cloud and on-premise deployments.
What it does
- Store-vs-estate benchmarking
- Category-level drill-down
- Estate-wide fill rate dashboard
- Threshold-based alerting

I pulled Store 37’s last 28 days against the chain baseline. Two root causes, both compounding.
| Signal | Finding |
|---|---|
labor_efficiency | Rev/labor-hour −22% vs. cluster, staffing mismatch at 11a–1p peak |
inventory.fresh | Fresh fill 83%, backroom replenishment lag at 2–4p |
promo.lift | BOGO crackers cannibalized Brand Y by 28%, net category +6% |
Recommend: re-baseline Store 37 schedule against true peak, raise replen window to 1p, and review the BOGO before next cycle.

What Ward has eyes on.
The fill rate model runs on a daily cycle, not on a reporting calendar. It detects the pattern, explains root cause, and attaches a recommended move before the number reaches a review deck.
The connection to Oracle Retail is read-only and runs on your schedule. Ward ingests sales audit, inventory positions, and the rest of the feed, then stitches together it with external context your ERP does not carry: weather, local events, competitor pricing.
Why this combination
is its own problem.
Most fill rate projects stall at data access. This one does not, because Oracle already exposes sales audit, inventory positions, allocation through an API Ward reads directly.
What the first 90 days
actually look like.
-
01
Week 1: connect
Read-only credentials to Oracle Retail. Ward pulls from sales audit, inventory positions, allocation and starts building baselines. First cards land inside 48 hours, before baselines are stable, so you can see the shape of the output early.
-
02
Weeks 2 to 3: calibration
Baselines stabilize per store and per category. Ward stops flagging normal variance and starts flagging exceptions. This is the window where the false positive rate drops sharply.
-
03
Weeks 4 to 12: operating rhythm
Daily cards arrive daily and get triaged like any other queue. Most teams find the volume settles into something one person clears in ten minutes. What matters is the action rate, not the alert count.
