How to ‘Bake’ AI into direct store delivery.

For those outside the grocery industry, direct store delivery (DSD) is a distribution model used by manufacturers/CPGs that entails delivering products directly to retail store shelves. This model is extremely conducive for perishable food categories. During your typical grocery shopping, you may notice that store employees these days do relatively little replenishment in the aisles. For many brand-name goods, those tasks are now the responsibility of the respective delivery person from the manufacturer or CPG, who wheels pallets off their delivery truck and directly restocks those items themselves within the designated shelf space negotiated between the company and the store.
