Oracle Retail Allocation

Oracle Retail Allocation helps retailers determine the inventory requirements at the item and location level. Using real-time inventory information, the system calculates need based on parameters you set—whether it's the characteristics of the product, the store, or the category.

Oracle Retail Allocation is part of Oracle Retail's Business Intelligence solution group.

Oracle Retail Allocation supports the process of allocating products to individual stores and manages multiple types of allocation, ensuring the right quantity of product is in the right location at the right time to maximize sales, profits, and customer satisfaction.

• Allocate inventory either in advance of the order's arrival or at the last minute to leverage real-time sales and information. Allocation can be based on many different methods, such as merchandise plans, sales history, or a demand forecast.
• Minimize lost sales with better, more accurate allocations that ensure the right quantity of each size and color are sent to the right location at the right time in the product lifecycle.
• Prevent overstocks by ensuring allocations tie back to the demand forecast and merchandise plans.
• Ensure stock levels match consumer demand and provide assortments tailored to local preferences.
• Calculating with real-time perpetual inventory enables you to execute in real time instead of waiting for the next overnight batch run so you can identify and react to the most current trends.
• Define the optimal pre-pack configurations for own-brand merchandise.
