History of Reliance Mart

Foundation (2021-2022):
Reliance Smart Bazaar was launched as part of Reliance Retail's ongoing expansion in the
hypermarket segment, aimed at serving middle-class and budget-conscious consumers. It
emerged as a strategic move following the acquisition of several Future Group stores,
including Big Bazaar, as Reliance sought to strengthen its retail dominance after Future
Retail faced financial struggles.

Strategic Rebranding:
In 2022, Reliance Smart Bazaar stores replaced many of the existing Big Bazaar outlets. The
goal was to retain the strong customer base that Big Bazaar had built while upgrading the
shopping experience with Reliance’s superior supply chain, technology integration, and
customer service. The transition was marked by major rebranding efforts, emphasizing the
"Smart" approach to grocery and household shopping.

Expansion & Product Offering:

Following its launch, Reliance Smart Bazaar quickly expanded to major cities and tier-2
towns across India. The stores were designed to offer a wide range of products including
fresh fruits and vegetables, groceries, dairy products, household goods, personal care items,
and apparel, providing shoppers with a one-stop solution for their daily needs. It became
known for its value-for-money offerings, bulk purchasing options, and frequent discounts.

Challenges:
The initial phase of Reliance Smart Bazaar's rollout was met with some logistical challenges,
particularly in transitioning from the Big Bazaar stores. However, with Reliance Retail's vast
resources, the company managed to overcome these hurdles by enhancing the supply chain
and improving customer engagement.

Omnichannel Approach:
Reliance Smart Bazaar adopted an omnichannel strategy, combining both physical stores and
online platforms for a seamless shopping experience. This integration helped the brand tap into
the growing e-commerce market, offering customers home delivery options and increasing its
market reach.

Current Status & Growth:

As of today, Reliance Smart Bazaar continues to grow rapidly, becoming a major player in

8
 India's retail landscape. It complements Reliance Retail’s other formats like Reliance Fresh
and Reliance Digital, contributing to the company’s position as one of the largest and most
influential retailers in the country.

With its customer-centric approach, attractive pricing, and wide product range, Reliance Smart
Bazaar has quickly established itself as a trusted hypermarket chain, appealing to consumers
across diverse regions.

Present stage of Reliance Mart

Reliance Smart Bazaar has quickly expanded since its launch in 2022, operating in over 700+
locations across India, replacing many former Big Bazaar stores. It focuses on delivering
valuefor-money with a wide range of groceries, fresh produce, home essentials, and personal
care products.

Key highlights:
- Affordable Shopping: Known for competitive pricing, bulk buying options, and frequent
discounts.
- Omnichannel Approach: Offers both in-store and online shopping with home delivery.
- Farmer Partnerships: Sourcing directly from farmers ensures fresh produce at lower costs.
- Customer Growth: Part of Reliance Retail's ecosystem, contributing to its 249 million

Getting Products to Shelf

1. Indenting & Purchase Orders (POs)

12
 (A) Indenting - DC Delivery
- Process: The process begins with checking the stock levels at the store and accounting
for goods in transit. This includes evaluating seasonal requirements, weekend demands, or
upcoming festivals where higher quantities might be needed. For regular stock, there is an
automatic indenting system managed by the central head office, primarily in Mumbai.

- Branded Goods: These are automatically indented based on sales patterns and inventory,
reducing the manual effort for store managers.
- Fruits & Vegetables (F&V): Orders for fruits and vegetables have a 48-hour lead time
from indenting to delivery. Dairy products, including milk, have a 36-hour delivery cycle after
the indent is raised to ensure freshness.

(B) Raising PO for Fresh and Bakery Products

- Process: Purchase orders for bakery products and fresh food categories like bread, cakes, and
pastries are raised at the store level. These POs are sent directly to the vendors and are valid for
24 hours. Orders for these items are raised only once per day, to ensure efficiency in receiving
and managing stock. This system ensures that stores receive the necessary quantities to maintain
a fresh stock without over-ordering.

2. Receiving Products
(A) Checking Delivery in Distribution Center (DC)
- DC Process: Dry goods that are delivered from the DC to the stores are checked thoroughly
by store staff before being packed and loaded at the DC itself. The goal is to minimize errors in
delivery quantity, ensure that the correct goods are delivered, and that there are no discrepancies
between what was ordered and what was shipped. The Store Manager (SM) oversees this process
to ensure accuracy.

(B) Receiving Goods in Store (From DC & CPC)

- Procedure: When goods arrive at the store, they are checked against the delivery schedule.
The SM, Assistant Store Manager (ASM), and Customer Service Associate (CSA) follow a
detailed checklist:
- Check the seal on the delivery truck in front of the driver.
- Measure and note the air-conditioned temperature inside the truck.
- Inspect the goods for any damages incurred during transit.
- If any items (HU or articles) are found damaged, excess, or missing, it is noted on the trip
sheet for return to the DC.

13
- A Goods Return Note (GRN) is prepared for the delivery based on the actual quantity
received.
- Any transit-damaged goods are returned to the DC using the same truck, and stores ensure
that unloading is done swiftly and safely.

(C) Receiving Goods from Vendors

- Process: Vendors supply goods such as bakery items, beverages, and books/magazines
directly to the store. The SM or ASM inspects the delivery:

- Check quantity and inspect for damages or near-expiry products.

- If any product is damaged or does not meet shelf life requirements, it is rejected, and the
invoice is adjusted accordingly.
- Remove any expired stock from the shelves and have them replaced without a GRN.
- For books, magazines, and music CDs, barcodes are checked, and unsold items are returned
to vendors.
- DSD (Direct Store Delivery) products are physically checked for damages, and only saleable
products are accepted.

3. Replenishment of Goods
- Process: Goods are moved from the receiving area to their designated shelves or freezers.
- Frozen products receive the highest priority, and they must be stocked in freezers
immediately.
- Chilled products are given second priority and are placed in chillers after the frozen goods.
- The FIFO (First In, First Out) rule is strictly followed, where older stock is placed at the front
of the shelves, and new stock is placed behind or below.

4. Managing Price Changes

- Process: Price changes are handled centrally by the head office in Mumbai. Whenever a
SKU's price is updated, new SELs (Shelf Edge Labels) are provided by the headquarters, and the
store team updates the prices on the shelves accordingly.

5. Managing Planogram
- Planogram Process: Planograms are layouts that define the position and quantity of products
on shelves. The head office is responsible for creating and sending planograms to stores:
- A new planogram is emailed to the store 2 days in advance.

14
- Stores adjust fixtures and shelf heights according to the new layout.
- Any major shelf changes (fewer than 5 bays) are managed by the store team.
- Stock must be placed exactly as per the planogram, with no deviations unless the fruits and
vegetables (F&V) section appears empty, in which case the store manager may modify it to
give the appearance of a fuller stock.

6. Promotion Management
- Setting up Promotions: When a new promotion begins, stores ensure all promotional stock
has been received from the DC, including any free gifts associated with the offer.
- Promotional signage is displayed in marketing-defined locations (e.g., end caps).
- Staff is briefed on the promotion details, including the period, customer benefits, special
arrangements at the tills, and sales targets.
- Leftover promotional stock is managed as per company guidelines, and if a customer returns
a promotion item, they are also required to return the associated free gift (with exceptions at
the discretion of the store manager).

7. Stock Display Management

- Spot Fill Process: Throughout the day, employees "spot fill" shelves by replenishing stock
from the back room or receiving area. This includes filling shelves with F&V items from
crates, using the FIFO rule, and ensuring proper temperature checks for chilled products.
- Expired products are removed daily.
- Employees ensure stock rotation for non-F&V SKUs using the FEFO (First Expired, First
Out) rule.

8. Managing Waste and Markdowns

- Handling Damages and Expiry: Products nearing expiry are marked down according to
company rules. Items that are damaged or expired are segregated and either exchanged with the
vendor or marked for dumping:
- For DC supply, expired or damaged goods are dumped in the store and disposed of
appropriately.
- For DSD supply, the vendor replaces the damaged or expired goods during the next
delivery.
- Dumped goods are recorded in a dump register, and approval is obtained from the store
manager. The store disposes of expired goods through a garbage collection agency.

15
9. Returns
(A) Goods Return to DC
- Process: A finalized list of stock articles for return to the DC is obtained from the
merchandising team. Items are packed in cartons and returned via the DC truck.
- GRDC (Goods Return Document to DC) is created in SAP for the quantity being
returned, and the DC return is documented by the truck driver.

(B) Goods Return to Vendor

- Process: Similar to returns to DC, vendor returns are packed and documented, with two
copies of the return document created—one for the vendor and one for store records.

10. Stock Count and Reconciliation

- Stock Take Process: Periodic stock counts are conducted using handheld terminals (HHTs),
where employees physically count stock on shelves and in the back room. The count is entered
into the system via the HHT, and discrepancies are noted and reconciled in SAP.

11. Store Opening and Closing

- Opening Procedure: Store staff follow a strict checklist, including unlocking shutters,
deactivating burglar alarms, switching on equipment, and ensuring all systems (POS, chillers,
generators) are functioning properly.
- Closing Procedure: An announcement is made 10 minutes before closing, tills are closed,
and store equipment is switched off. The burglar alarm is activated, and keys are logged in the
security register.

12. Home Delivery

- Types of Home Delivery:
- Convenience Orders: Customers shop in-store and request delivery after their items are billed.
- Phone Orders: Customers call the store or a call center to place an order, and payment is
collected upon delivery by the delivery associate.
- Delivery Staff: Two employees are appointed—one as the Home Delivery Champion
(responsible for taking orders, picking, and billing) and another as the Home Delivery
Associate (responsible for billing and delivering).

This detailed process ensures Reliance Smart Bazaar maintains operational efficiency, accurate
stock management, and high customer satisfaction.

 Daily Work Report
Day 1: Project Introduction and Store Observation

On the initial day of our project, we were introduced to our primary assignment: conducting a
comprehensive store analysis. This entailed a thorough examination of multiple store elements,
including brand representation, current promotions, and display creativity. Additionally, we were
tasked with engaging store personnel to gather valuable information about customer interactions
and behaviors. This observational exercise aimed to provide us with a holistic understanding of
the store's operations and customer experience.

To ensure a systematic approach, we were instructed to document our findings meticulously,

paying special attention to unique features that set this store apart from competitors. The project
manager emphasized the importance of noting both strengths and areas for potential
improvement in the store's layout, product placement, and customer service strategies. This
initial task was designed to lay the groundwork for our subsequent responsibilities and to
familiarize us with the retail environment we would be working in throughout the project
duration.

17
 Day 2: Cash Department Operations

Department Sir, who oversees the cash department, gave us a comprehensive overview of how
the department functions. His guidance provided us with an in-depth understanding of the key
processes that keep the department running smoothly.
We were introduced to the process of cash memo entry, a method used to record cash
transactions efficiently and accurately. Umesh Sir explained that a cash memo acts as a simple
yet crucial document for tracking sales made in cash. It includes essential details such as the
date of the transaction, the customer's name, a description of the goods sold, the quantity of
each item, the price per unit, and the total amount to be paid. This system ensures that every
transaction is clearly documented, making it easier to manage cash flow and keep accurate
financial records. The process of creating a cash memo not only facilitates transparency but
also simplifies the process of accounting for daily sales in a retail setting.

18
 Day 3: Back Office and Inventory Management

Department Sir provided us with a thorough insight into the workings of the back office,
particularly emphasizing the critical aspect of inventory management.
We learned the procedures for receiving goods in the back office, with particular attention given
to the two key delivery windows: 6:00 AM and 9:30 AM. Sir explained how goods are sourced
from Reliance-owned inventory, as well as directly from farmers and wholesalers. This
The discussion then shifted to inventory management, where we explored the process of grading
perishable items based on their quality. This grading system is vital for maintaining high
standards and minimizing waste. Satyawan Sir also explained the importance of data entry into
the SAP system, which helps track inventory levels and facilitates efficient stock management.
Additionally, we learned how demand patterns influence the distribution of goods to retail
outlets. Understanding these patterns allows for more effective inventory allocation, ensuring
that popular items are sufficiently stocked while managing leftovers efficiently. This strategy
not only optimizes inventory turnover but also helps in reducing waste, ultimately contributing
to the overall efficiency of the supply chain.

Day 4: Product Display and Pricing Strategies

19
Shelf Display Observations
During our visit, we closely examined how products are displayed on the store shelves, placing
special emphasis on the implementation of planograms (POGs). This structured approach to
product placement is designed to optimize visibility and accessibility, enhancing the shopping
experience for customers. We discussed various aspects of this arrangement, including stock
organization, the use of protective lamination for labels, and the importance of clear pricing
for each item.

20
 Day 5: Non-Food Section Management

Overview of the Non-Food Section

On the fifth day, we shifted our focus to the management of the non-food section, which
encompasses a diverse array of products such as fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG),
toiletries, household essentials, feminine care items, baby products, and beauty items. This
section plays a crucial role in meeting customer needs beyond food, and effective management
is essential for maintaining sales and customer satisfaction.

Stock Management and Expiry Date Monitoring

We noted several challenges associated with overseeing the non-food section. One significant
issue is managing items that are nearing their expiry dates. It's essential to have a proactive
approach to identify and handle these products effectively. This includes implementing
markdown strategies to encourage sales and minimize waste, ensuring that items do not go
unsold until they expire.
Additionally, we discussed the importance of regular checks for expiry dates and the need for
efficient stock rotation practices. By monitoring stock levels and expiry dates closely, the team
can ensure that customers have access to fresh, high-quality products while also reducing losses
due to expired inventory. This strategic management not only enhances customer satisfaction but
also contributes to the overall efficiency and profitability of the store.
Day 6: Food and Beverage Inventory Strategies

21
Food and Beverage Inventory Management
In our session, we explored the intricacies of managing inventory for food and beverages,
with a particular focus on the significance of using both the Last In, First Out (LIFO) and
First In, First Out (FIFO) methods. These strategies are essential for ensuring that older stock
is sold before newer items, thus reducing the risk of waste due to expired products. We
discussed how maintaining a stringent budget for waste management is vital, as it helps
minimize financial losses while ensuring the freshness of inventory.

Handling Mart Produce

We also delved into the specifics of handling fruits and vegetables, which are known for their
limited shelf life. Strategies to uphold the quality and freshness of these perishable items
were a key point of discussion. We emphasized the importance of regular quality checks and
proper storage conditions to maintain their martness—meaning their overall freshness and
appeal to customers.

Furthermore, we examined the process of redistributing any unsold perishable products to the
wholesale market. This strategy not only helps recover costs but also ensures that food that
might otherwise go to waste is redirected to where it can still be utilized effectively. By
implementing these practices, the team can better manage inventory, reduce waste, and
enhance overall operational efficiency.

22
 Day 7: Staple and High-Value Stock Management

Management of Staple and High-Value Products

During our observations, we focused on the stock management practices for staple goods, such
as spices, flour, legumes, and dry fruits. These items are essential in everyday cooking and
household consumption, making their efficient management crucial for customer satisfaction
and operational effectiveness.

We also noted the implementation of special barcode stickers for high-value products. This
initiative is designed to deter theft and ensure accurate tracking of inventory. By using these
security measures, the store can better monitor the movement of these items and maintain
tighter control over stock levels.

In addition to preventing loss, this strategy enhances the overall shopping experience for
customers by ensuring that high-demand products are readily available and securely managed.
Effective inventory practices for both staples and high-value goods contribute significantly to
the store's profitability and reputation.

Day 8: Apparel and Store Security

23
Insights into the Apparel Department
We delved into the operations of the clothing and footwear department, paying particular
attention to the security measures in place to safeguard merchandise. This includes the use of
hard security tags and advanced anti-theft systems designed to deter shoplifting and ensure a
secure shopping environment for customers.

Additionally, we discussed the critical role of regular inventory and temperature checks. These
checks are vital not only for maintaining the quality of clothing but also for ensuring that any
refrigerated items, such as footwear that may require specific conditions, are stored properly.

At the end of each day, stock reconciliation is a key process led by the store manager. This
involves thorough checks of the closing stock, ensuring that all items are accounted for and
accurately recorded. The store manager also coordinates with distributors for timely
replenishment of stock, which helps maintain optimal inventory levels and ensures that popular
items are consistently available for customers. This attention to detail enhances operational
efficiency and supports a positive shopping experience.staples and high-value goods contribute
significantly to the store's profitability and reputation.

Day 9: Promotion and Marketing

24
We were promoting and marketing the products which were been targeted to sell
by the Sales team. We were informing the customers about the offers and
discounts on the selected products . This helps us to gain knowledge about retail
marketing strategies.

Day 10: Apparel and Store Security

25
I was assigned for collecting and reviewing the customer feedback,This can us to
identify the customer review about the floor ,so that we can make the essential
changes in our floor. This helps us to know the drawback of the floor where we
have to work.
