From the Increff resource library
Are you one of the 67% of retailers facing a mountain of inventory and disappointing sales, according to a National Retail Federation study? This isn’t just a statistic; it’s a stark reality for countless businesses struggling with the complexities of modern retail.
If you’re running merchandising for an apparel brand that sells on marketplaces and your own D2C site, you’ve likely seen the same issue repeat every season: you’re overstocked on the wrong styles (often sitting in one channel), while your best-sellers go out of stock in another right when demand peaks.
Demand planning has moved far beyond spreadsheets and gut instinct. With AI-powered software, businesses can now predict demand with far greater accuracy, reduce stockouts, cut excess inventory, and respond faster to market shifts. But with so many tools on the market, finding the right fit can be overwhelming.
