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.

Why this combination
is its own problem.
Fill Rate Monitoring needs demand forecasts and space plans at minimum. RELEX Solutions carries both, at the grain the model needs. That is the whole integration story: no middleware, no staging warehouse, no custom extract.
What Ward has eyes on.
The fill rate model runs daily, not on a reporting calendar. It detects the pattern, traces what caused it, and attaches a recommended move before the number reaches a review deck.
Ward ingests demand forecasts, space plans, workforce forecasts from RELEX Solutions on a read-only connection. Nothing is written back, and your Supply Chain configuration does not change. RELEX stays the system of record.
What the first 90 days
actually look like.
-
01
Week 1: read-only connection
Ward sits on top of RELEX Solutions with read-only credentials and begins ingesting demand forecasts and space plans. No config changes on your side. First daily cards arrive inside the first 48 hours.
-
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
Cards arrive on a daily cycle 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.
