Modernization across a thousand retail outlets
THE PROBLEM With over 1,400 stores nationwide, the SPAR Group struggled with persistent inefficiencies in its back-office and receiving operations. Manual, paper-based document handling led to: - Delays, errors, and misalignment between invoices and purchase orders - Gross profit miscalculations due to inconsistent inputs - Limited visibility into supplier performance and operational workflows - Rising administrative costs and strained supplier relationships These bottlenecks reduced profitability, increased operational risk, and slowed down SPAR’s ability to operate efficiently at scale.
THE SOLUTION Reisiger, in partnership with Intelliac, built a document management and gross profit optimization platform tailored to SPAR’s retail operations. The solution digitized workflows with advanced OCR technology (98% accuracy), introduced real-time gross profit tracking across millions of product lines, and deployed automated purchase order–invoice matching to eliminate discrepancies. Supplier management tools, cloud-based document storage, and mobile accessibility further modernized operations. Together, these components delivered an intelligent, scalable system that optimized financial accuracy, streamlined supplier engagement, and reduced the environmental footprint of paper-heavy processes.
