Survey Participant Classification VIII. Appendix: Comparison of Current State of Retail And Supply Chain Planning Systems 2 RELEX Solutions needed to quantify grocers’ supply chain challenges, opportunities, and current approaches. For example: How important is AI/machine learning to current planning. Is it on grocers’ horizon if they’re not currently using it? Background Results will inform RELEX strategies for marketing and communications with current and potential customers. Additionally, content will be used in direct communications with retailers through the leading grocery industry publication, Progressive Grocer. EnsembleIQ conducted an online survey with grocers who met the following criteria: • $250M+ in revenue • Individuals in supply chain and inventory management roles • Manager, Director, VP/Sr. VP, C-Level/President Research • Work at or report into corporate office (not store level) Methodology A total of 54 grocers participated, representing large grocers including, but not limited to: Alberton’s Price Chopper Supermarkets Giant Food Publix Houchens Industries Ralphs King Soopers Stater Bros Market Basket The Save Mart Companies Meijer Woodman’s Markets 3 • Grocers operating online only skipped questions that are not applicable to their business model. Additionally, language varied on some questions for online-only grocers. Question language is noted on applicable pages in this report. For further detail, please refer to the full questionnaire document. • The first wave of this survey was conducted one year ago (2018). Though results for 2018 are not included in this report, it’s notable that in some Notes for instances, survey results in 2019 vary quite a bit from 2018, likely due to a number of factors: the Analysis 1. 2019 only included grocers, while 2018 included some convenience store chains as well 2. Varying representation of grocer and participant characteristics: • 2019 included more C-Levels/Presidents and Managers, while 2018 included more Directors and VPs/Sr. VPs • 2019 included more participating companies with revenue between $250 million - $1 billion, while 2018 included a much higher number of companies with revenue over $10 billion. 4 The Importance of Fresh 5 It goes without saying that fresh products are important to the grocery business. fresh products are very important fresh products are just as important as other product categories 60% 40% 6 Q2.
