With advanced monitoring and control systems provided by In-Season, it is possible to track inventory levels in stores and make precise adjustments. At Shoulder, we use various supply parameters, and In-Season offers the flexibility to adjust all necessary aspects in the tool, allowing for personalized and optimized supply management.

Challenges faced by the client

Distribution and manual transfer of merchandise

Previously, replenishment and transfers between stores were done manually, without sales projections at the product or store level.

Excess stock and sales breakdowns in stores

Distribution and manual transfer of merchandise resulted in excess inventory in some stores and shortages in others.

Direct store merchandise without warehouse reserve

By implementing an effective replenishment process, Shoulder was able to reduce excess inventory and lost sales, thereby improving their margins.

How we helped solve these challenges

Automated Replenishment Process

We implemented an automatic and effective replenishment process, integrated with their ERP, maintaining 40% of their inventory in the warehouse to improve order fulfillment.

Automatic Transfers

Automatic transfers between stores were suggested and executed to optimize product distribution.

Inventory Management Automation

Since their collaboration with Analyticalways in 2017, Shoulder has automated inventory planning and management, resulting in a significant increase in sales and a reduction in excess inventory.

Operational Team Improvements

Operational improvements were made with a team of 4 people, managing retail operations (more than 70 stores).
