Kiabi increases in-store product availability by 7% by optimising supply chain management with machine learning

Solution:

Kiabi has implemented Infor's Retail Demand Management tool which optimises supply chain management, such as minimum order size and time to fulfill an order. It does so by predicting sales for each clothing SKU based on historic data and local market data, such as store openings, competition, etc. along with daily warehouse stock levels and store inventory data. It predicts sales trends on a country level by looking at localised market data to aid with financial planning. The envisioned final implementation will be able to predict inventory needs on a store-level.
