"Immediately after a simple data migration, we could start continuously eliminating more than 75% of our deadstock, while also significantly decreasing out-of-stock situations in our stores network."
The problem of unsold and unbalanced inventory, which significantly impacts both customer experience—one of the key topics in today’s discussions—and profitability. It leads to overstock and understock, generates unnecessary waste, and results in markdowns.
Why is this happening despite having advanced replenishment and demand forecasting systems in place?
YDISTRI steps in to complete the inventory optimization cycle by addressing unsold inventory. We complement existing replenishment solutions, which operate preemptively, by providing a system that supports retailers in the post-replenishment phase, when goods are already in stores. This enables us to respond effectively to the constant fluctuations of the retail environment.
