At Daalchini, we believe that great retail isn’t just about stocking shelves; it’s about listening to what data has to say and letting those insights guide every move we make.
Here’s a peek at how our team is putting data analytics to work, making our vending experience smarter, fresher, and tailored for you, from the inside out.
The Shelf Time Algorithm
Our R&D and engineering teams collaborated closely to develop algorithms that track Product Shelf Time across hundreds of Daalchini vending machines every day.
By collecting real-time data on when each product is stocked and when it’s purchased or replaced, our system learns precisely how long every snack, drink, or health product spends inside the machine.
These algorithms take into account product category, local tastes, and seasonal swings, ensuring we’re not just tracking numbers, but genuinely understanding consumption patterns at each location.
Tailored Assortment Planning
Armed with these shelf time insights, our assortment planning becomes truly data-driven. Instead of one-size-fits-all stocking, we now customize the product mix for every machine, be it a tech office in Bangalore or a college library in Pune.
If data shows that healthy snacks move faster in wellness-focused offices, but traditional treats are beloved at a university, we adjust accordingly.
This means fewer expired items, more customer favorites, and an ever-refreshing selection that makes every bite just right.
Predictive Analytics
But we don’t stop at the present. Using predictive analytics, we forecast demand and set inventory levels with confidence, ensuring we never understock top sellers or overstock slow movers.
Our machine learning models analyze historical sales, cyclical patterns, and even the impact of local events to predict what and how much will sell next.
This directly leads to higher Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), as our machines turn more inventory into happy customers, and a leaner, more efficient supply chain that works in everyone’s favor.
Less Waste, Smoother Operations & Happier Customers
All these innovations add up to more than just numbers on a screen. By reducing wastage and spoilage, we help lessen our environmental footprint.
Optimized logistics mean our refilling teams run like clockwork, and each machine is stocked precisely when and how it needs to be.
Most importantly, our customers enjoy fresher products, more choices, and the confidence that Daalchini is thinking a few steps ahead to keep their snacking moments special and stress-free.
Afterword
Every time we crunch the numbers, we remember what’s behind the data: people who deserve a delightful, seamless experience, where convenience meets care, and smart tech makes life just that bit smoother. That’s the real Daalchini difference!
