Automatic Replenishment

Shelf-out-of-stock is one of the leading motivations of technology innovation in Retail sector. Retail stores need to make sure that items are replaced the moment they leave shelves. At the heart of this effort is inventory management, which is a very thin and precarious line between stockout and oversupply.

Inventory Re-balancing

Do you have inventory at one store while a much higher rate of sale in the other? And thousands of SKUs across hundreds of stores compound the problem even further? The problem can be exacerbate by excess reorder while demand could be fulfilled by just moving stocks from one store to another. While the customer demand at each store is independent of each other lack of proper stocks means unmet sales and lost revenue opportunities.

Markdown optimization

Shrinking product lifecycles, seasonal demands, diversified assortments, changes in variety and size of customer base, increase in store count and ever increasing competition have both necessitated and increased the use of markdowns. Optimizing markdowns entails a complex decision for retail managers as if markdowns are ‘too much too soon’ then it will reduce the revenue potential while if they are ‘too little too late’ then there is a risk of ending the season with high level of stocks lying in warehouse.
