No More Guesswork: What Happens When Stoc Hits the Floor

The average beverage cooler loses up to 8% of daily sales to stockouts and another 7% to temperature spoilage. That’s real money lost on the ground, not in theory—and for most ops teams, it slips through the cracks unnoticed.

That’s why retail leaders we work with aren’t just looking for tools—they’re looking for visibility, consistency, and execution that actually sticks.

Simplify the chaos. Tighten visibility. Eliminate the guesswork.

But when merchandisers are buried in manual checks, fire drills, and spreadsheet audits that age faster than milk, execution gets messy—fast. That’s where Stoc steps in.

After rolling out our AI-powered cooler platform, here’s what retail operations leaders consistently tell us.

“We finally see what’s happening on the floor — in real time.”

No more waiting for daily recaps or blind-spot audits. With Stoc, HQ and field leaders get live, image-backed visibility into every cooler on the floor.

Whether it’s low stock, a broken planogram, or a temperature spike creeping in—Stoc surfaces it instantly, not days later. For ops leaders, it’s like switching from a blurry polaroid to 4K live-stream.

“We’re saving hours every week on fire drills and follow-ups.”

Stoc doesn’t just point out what’s wrong—it routes it to the right team, at the right time, with just context to fix it fast.

That means no more chasing reps, no more scrambling on store visits, and no more post-mortems on lost sales. Your team gets back time and control.

“Frontline teams actually use it — and like it.”

Most tech dies in the field. Not this.

Stoc is built mobile-first, frictionless, and simple to adopt. It’s not a portal made for the head office alone—it’s a tool designed for the people on the ground too. That’s why merchandisers, reps, and store leads actually use it.

“Store execution is way more consistent across the board.”

From 15 stores to 500, Stoc makes sure every location runs the same playbook.

No more hoping field teams caught the new display layout or remembered the temperature check. With photo validation, alert tracking, and task accountability built in, execution becomes less about trust and more about proof.

“We catch and fix issues before they become real problems.”

Stoc is proactive, not reactive.

When a cooler starts trending warm or a top-selling SKU runs low, your team doesn’t find out after the fact—they get pinged while there’s still time to act. That means fewer spoiled products, fewer missed facings, and far fewer lost sales.

Bottom Line

Cooler operators don’t need more guesswork or tools collecting dust. They need visibility, speed, and action—especially when it comes to in-store execution.

That’s what Stoc delivers.
