Challenge
A mid-size retail chain with 50 stores struggled with inventory management. They faced frequent stockouts, overstock situations, and capital tied up in excess inventory.
- Frequent stockouts leading to lost sales
- Overstock situations tying up capital
- Lack of data-driven purchasing decisions
- Manual forecasting prone to errors
