The retail ecosystem in Latin America is at a turning point where efficiency and profitability dictate the agenda for success. In this scenario, Janis Commerce had a prominent participation in Retail Day Buenos Aires, one of the most influential business, trend, and networking events in the sector in the region.

‍
Our presence was marked by a two-pronged approach: direct interaction with industry leaders at our exclusive booth and a strategic presentation on the main stage by our CEO, Francisco Mato.

A space for connection, technology, and live simulation
‍

Throughout the event, the Janis Commerce expert team welcomed dozens of executives, clients, partners, and professionals from the retail, e-commerce, and supply chain sectors to its booth.

Beyond strategic conversations about the future of the sector, the booth became a live innovation hub. Visitors were able to experience firsthand how our solutions address the daily operational complexities of large chains. Through real-time demonstrations and simulated workflows, we showcased the potential of our technology suite to coordinate massive inventories and optimize pick & pack efficient processes, consolidating the physical store as a true intelligent fulfillment node.

The Conference: Challenging the Physics of Logistics and Cost-to-Serve
‍

The highlight of the day came with the presentation by our Co-Founder & CEO, Francisco Mato, on the event's main stage under the title Technology & Cost to Serve.

During the talk, Francisco raised an uncomfortable but essential point: over the last decade, the industry has almost obsessively focused its efforts and multi-million dollar investments on optimizing the last mile (delivery to the end consumer). However, the true margin drain occurring upstream is being ignored, specifically in internal logistics and B2B replenishment that supplies stores or dark stores.

"In Latin America, we operate in 'hard mode'. The structural gap is immense, and logistics costs as a percentage of GDP exceed those of mature markets by 70%. In low-margin, high-volume operations, Cost-to-Serve is the true battlefield of modern retail,"Francisco emphasized during his presentation.

⚡The three pillars of the presentation:
‍

1. The real impact of stockouts: An error in traditional store replenishment paralyzes entire stores and affects thousands of customers simultaneously.
2. The evolution to Unified Commerce: Moving from traditional omnichannel (with siloed systems and rigid integrations) to a unified network where sales channels and logistics operate synchronously through modern and flexible architectures.
3. The autonomous brain with Janis Inventory: How the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence layers and predictive models enables real-time assortment decision automation, multidimensionally optimizes space and transportation, and achieves inventory accuracy of 99.8%, safeguarding business profitability.
