Abstract

Systems and methods for rating the performance of an entity based on product flow data, floor data and disposition data are disclosed. An example method may include interpreting flow analysis data corresponding to a plurality of items of sale flowing through a supply chain for an entity, and interpreting store analysis data corresponding to the plurality of items of sale while disposed on a floor of a store. The method may further include interpreting disposition analysis data corresponding to disposal of some of the plurality of items of sale, and determining a score value based at least in part on the flow analysis data, the store analysis data, and the disposition analysis data.

Claims (56)

1 . A method comprising:

interpreting flow analysis data corresponding to a plurality of items of sale flowing through a supply chain for an entity;

interpreting store analysis data corresponding to the plurality of items of sale while disposed on a floor of a store;

interpreting disposition analysis data corresponding to disposal of some of the plurality of items of sale; and

determining a score value based at least in part on the flow analysis data, the store analysis data, and the disposition analysis data.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the entity is the store.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a graphical interface that depicts at least a portion of:

the flow analysis data;

the store analysis data;

the disposition analysis data; and

the score value.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a set of specific actions for the entity to improve the score value, the set of specific actions based at least on part on the flow analysis data, the store analysis data, and the disposition analysis data.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

prioritizing the set of specific actions based at least on part on the flow analysis data, the store analysis data, and the disposition analysis data.

6 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

revising the set of specific actions as new flow analysis data, new store analysis data, and new disposition analysis data becomes available.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the flow analysis data comprises and indication of compliance of the plurality of items of sale with respect to a first standard operating procedure (SOP); and

the store analysis data comprises and indication of compliance of the plurality of items of sale with respect to a second SOP.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the first SOP and the second SOP are the same; or

the first SOP and the second SOP form part of a third SOP.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the score value comprises a fresh score value corresponding to a measure of a freshness of the items of sale.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the measure of freshness is with respect to a time period.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

selecting the time period.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the time period is a time over which the fresh score value is determined.

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the fresh score value comprises a numerical value.

14 . A system comprising:

a first plurality of micro-climate sensors each associated with a corresponding individual item of sale and structured to generate and transmit product flow data of the individual item of sale of a plurality of items of sale flowing through a supply chain for an entity;

a second plurality of micro-climate sensors disposed on a floor of a store and structured to generate floor data corresponding to the plurality of items of sale while disposed on the floor;

a mobile electronic device structured to generate visual disposition data from at least some of the plurality of items of sale; and

a server structured to:

determine flow analysis data from the product flow data;

determine store analysis data from the floor data; and

determine a score value based at least in part on the product flow data, the floor data, and the visual disposition data.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein at least one of the server or the mobile electronic device are further structured to generate a graphical interface that depicts at least a portion of:

the flow analysis data;

the store analysis data;

the disposition analysis data; and

the score value.

16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein:

the flow analysis data comprises and indication of compliance of the plurality of items of sale with respect to a first standard operating procedure (SOP); and

the store analysis data comprises and indication of compliance of the plurality of items of sale with respect to a second SOP.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein:

the first SOP and the second SOP are the same; or

the first SOP and the second SOP form part of a third SOP.

18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the score value comprises a fresh score value corresponding to a measure of a freshness of the items of sale.

19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the measure of freshness is with respect to a time period.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the server is further structured to:

interpret user input data corresponding to a user input on the mobile electronic device; and

determine the time period based at least in part on the user input data.

21 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the time period is the time the fresh score value is determined.

22 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the fresh score value comprises a numerical value.
