INDUSTRY CHALLENGES:

Your challenges, solved.

Apparel retailers require efficiency, forecast accuracy, and speed when it comes to the merchandise planning of large, complex assortments and fast-moving inventory.

Optimized availability

Make sure the right styles and sizes are available across your channels and points of sale through hyper-local demand forecasting and size curve analysis.

Fewer markdowns

SKU/point of sale forecasts enable you meet demand without overstocking in order to free up working capital and reduce markdowns and excess inventory.

Eliminate manual work

Automate merchandising processes to liberate teams from tasks they’d normally carry out over spreadsheets and traditional systems, gaining efficiency and time.

The right displays

Set visual merchandising rules to ensure that allocations, replenishments and rebalancing executions maintain the right look in stores.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS:

Pre-allocate incoming stock

Send waybills to your warehouses in advance, giving them enough time to prepare to send the right stock to stores as quickly as possible. No more waiting until stock arrives, no overstocking stores, and no more missed sales due to delays.

Agility and better availability

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.
