According to Grocery Manufacturers of America (GMA):
- There are discrepancies on 10.5% of DSD invoices issued to small-format retailers, and 15.4% to supermarkets and other large-format stores
- The average out-of-stock rate for DSD items is 7.4%, but jumps to 13.1% for promotional items
- Out-of-stocks result in $6 billion in lost sales annually
