Real-Time Regional Insights with Customizable E-commerce Dashboards

Introduction

Fulfillment performance can make or break a sale in the competitive U.S. grocery and e-commerce market. When a product is marked “out of stock” or delayed for delivery, it signals a lag in the fulfillment chain. For nationwide platforms like Walmart, these inconsistencies vary across fulfillment centers and ZIP codes.

Actowiz Solutions was approached by a leading U.S. CPG company to analyze these gaps using real-time data from Walmart APIs to uncover trends, optimize inventory planning, and prevent lost sales.

Objectives

Monitor SKU availability across Walmart fulfillment centers by ZIP code.
Track duration of stockouts and restock intervals.
Identify fulfillment centers with recurring availability delays.
Provide visual insights to inventory and logistics teams.

Key Challenges

SKU availability varied not just by region, but by fulfillment warehouse.
Stockouts were dynamic, often lasting hours to days.
API data had latency windows that required timestamp normalization.

Actowiz Solutions’ Approach

1. Walmart API Integration:

Integrated ZIP-based Walmart Inventory API to extract product availability at the nearest fulfillment center.
Queried stock status every 2 hours for 180 SKUs across 50 ZIP codes.

2. Fulfillment Zone Mapping:

Mapped each ZIP to its assigned Walmart FC (Fulfillment Center).
Tracked unique availability patterns per FC, independent of ZIP geography.

3. Out-of-Stock & Restock Duration Tracker:

Flagged SKUs as:

✅ In Stock
❌ Out of Stock
🔄 Just Restocked

Measured duration of each OOS interval.

Sample Output

SKU	ZIP Code	FC ID	Status	OOS Duration	Restocked On
Tide Pods 42ct	30301	FC203	❌ Out of Stock	28 hrs	2025-06-03 16:00 PM
Tropicana 52oz	60601	FC118	✅ In Stock	—	—
Oreo 15.35oz	10001	FC031	🔄 Just Restocked	7 hrs	2025-06-03 08:30 AM
