FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS:

Nextail speaks your language

Your items are unique, exclusive and highly coveted. Nextail enables you to ensure that each item is available when and where you need it to meet unpredictable demand and maximize sales potential.

Forecast demand for new items or those with limited history

Nextail accurately forecasts demand for products with limited sales history and sporadic patterns, leveraging data from comparable items from the past or present, and product attributes like cut, color and fabric.

Improve inventory agility

Incorporate an intelligent holdback strategy at the beginning of the season, allocating enough units to meet demand while keeping more units available in your warehouse so they can be dynamically replenished according to ongoing demand patterns later.

Maintain the right store image all season

Perfect each store display by setting visual merchandising parameters, such as minimum display rules, by SKU-store combination, the percentage of each size available in each store, and even block certain items from reaching specific stores. Nextail recommendations will respect each one.

Rebalance for availability where you need it

In luxury, the presence of the right products in the right location at the right time is an absolute necessity. Ensure that luxury items are meticulously positioned where discerning luxury clientele expect to find them, and rebalance inventory to continue meet customer demand.

“It was imperative that our backroom processes were as robust as possible but also offered great agility because delivering a perfect customer experience is only as good as the operations that support it. This is why we selected Nextail. Offering more than best-in-class merchandise planning, they also provide the synergies between the high-efficiency world of fast fashion and the curated world of luxury that we need the most.”

– Silvia Zunino, Head of Merchandising at Valextra

“It was really easy to work with the Nextail team which is fantastic. Our teams were truly open to change, but implementing new technology is not simple, especially when it affects our daily work to such a degree. The Nextail team took the time to help us understand the logic of the solutions and the real benefits in terms of time and management that we would achieve.”

– María Jose Brazo Guerra, Planning & Distribution Coordinator for Cortefiel & Pedro del Hierro at Tendam
