Predictive Inventory Management
Large Retail Chain
The Challenge
The retail chain was struggling with inventory management across 200+ locations. Stockouts were costing sales while overstock was tying up capital and leading to markdowns. Traditional forecasting methods couldn't keep up with rapidly changing consumer preferences and seasonal variations.
Our Solution
We deployed an advanced predictive analytics engine that forecasts demand at the SKU level for each location. The system considers historical sales data, weather patterns, local events, promotional calendars, and social media trends to optimize inventory levels. It automatically generates purchase orders and suggests inter-store transfers.
