Introduction
In the fast-paced world of quick commerce, nothing frustrates customers more than stockouts. Whether it’s a missing favorite snack or a daily essential, out-of-stock notifications can drive consumers to competitors and damage brand loyalty. One competitor brand turned this challenge into a growth opportunity—by partnering with Actowiz Solutions for real-time Blinkit scraping and inventory analytics.

This case study reveals how Actowiz Solutions enabled Competitor to proactively manage inventory, forecast demand trends, and minimize stockouts using real-time data extraction from Blinkit.

Customer satisfaction
Cart abandonment rates
Sales conversion
Brand loyalty
Stockouts often occur due to:

Poor demand forecasting
Delayed restocking
Inaccurate supplier data
Lack of real-time competitor ...
... tracking

Competitor’s Challenge: High Stockout Rates During Peak Hours

Competitor, an emerging brand in the grocery and FMCG sector, was facing a surge in stockouts across Tier 1 cities in India, especially during peak shopping hours (6 PM - 10 PM). The brand lacked visibility into real-time Blinkit inventory, pricing, and product movement patterns.

They needed:

Real-time insights into which products were trending
Alerts on fast-moving SKUs
Visibility into when Blinkit or competitors were running low
