The Challenge

RetailPlus Chain, a large retailer with over 500 locations, was struggling with inventory management inefficiencies and limited understanding of customer purchasing patterns. They experienced frequent stockouts of popular items while simultaneously holding excess inventory of slow-moving products. Their traditional forecasting methods couldn't account for seasonal trends, regional preferences, or rapidly changing consumer behaviors.

Our Solution

We developed a comprehensive AI-powered analytics platform that combined point-of-sale data, customer behavior patterns, and external factors like weather and local events. The solution used machine learning algorithms to generate accurate demand forecasts, optimize inventory levels, and provide actionable insights to merchandising and store operations teams.
