A retail client in the apparel and clothing space wanted to optimize inventory levels and its broader supply chain, enhance customer service, minimize costs, streamline production and procurement, and enable stronger strategic planning. But the business was working against itself on several fronts. Its data was scattered across multiple silos, making it difficult to access or analyze in any meaningful way. Many of its forecasting tasks were still manual, a process that was time-consuming and prone to errors. And the forecasting methods it did have in place simply weren’t accurate enough, leading to a familiar and costly problem: stockouts on one end, overstocks on the other. The retailer needed a smarter way to see its business clearly and plan ahead with confidence.
