But it is not the panacea for stock optimisation everyone pretends it to be.   ➡ The reason is that in most retailers, most products (up to 70%) sell less than 1-sku per store per week. When rates of sale are below 1 (<1 unit), forecasting adds no value. Randomness takes over at that point.   ➡ For forecasting to work you need rates of sales > 1 sku per store per week. In fashion retailing where skus are at size level, that is rare. Stock optimisation therefore requires forecasting to be combined with rules based policies.   Even then for forecasting to work well you need 3 factors built into UNIFY’s forecasting • Base forecasts - calculated • Seasonality – calculated but might need to be changed • Promotional uplifts – calculated based on elasticities, halo and cannibalisation effects – not always measurable.   But the biggest impact on stock optimisation comes from accurate ranging, and optimised pack sizes. 🚀 #UnifiedRetailing #UnifyStock #UnifyPlatform #RetailTech #Omnichannel #RetailInnovation #FutureOfRetail #BusinessGrowth #AI

Describing, min, max and ideal parameters. Ideal is set based on backwards cover or forward cover based on forecasts. It’s very time consuming to set up and maintain and change parameters as conditions change.   Our allocation & replenishment system uses stock policies and rules which can be cascaded based on KPIs, so as conditions change, different policies kick in.   🛍 Category managers focus on stock policies and rules and not parameters, which is both, more efficient and more effective, and guarantees optimised stock holdings for products ranged to specific locations. #UnifiedRetailing #UnifyStock #RetailTech #Omnichannel #RetailInnovation #FutureOfRetail #BusinessGrowth #AI
