How Lemme increased sales >20% by showing OSA issues | Hetal Retail

Lemme is an omnichannel women’s wellness brand sold online and at retailers like Target. They’re committed to consistent shelf execution to support rapidly growing demand.

The challenge

Strong sales masked a hidden issue that the retailer’s reporting hadn’t uncovered.

Back room bottlenecks

90% of “available” inventory sat in the warehouse, leaving shelves empty.

A blind spot

Strong sales and reporting implied OSA compliance, but Hetal’s data and visual proof told the true story.

Money on the table

Without real-time shelf visibility, Lemme wouldn’t have realized its full potential.

“We thought sales were great, but Hetal’s data showed we were leaving money on the table. The issue wasn’t demand – it was products not getting to shelves fast enough.”

The solution

Through continuous, always-on shelf auditing, 
Hetal provided:

Visual proof

Images and data made it undeniable that OSA was a problem.

Persuasive data analysis

Hetal compiled a detailed analysis of how these issues affected sales, which Lemme presented to the buyer.

Increased turn rates

Presented with these findings, the retailer increased turn rates on certain products.

### “Hetal gave us the proof we needed. We showed clear data and imagery of empty shelves,
indicating turn rates were too slow. That changed the conversation immediately.”
