Inventory Strategies to Meet Evolving Customer Expectations
Today’s unpredictable and volatile customer buying habits limit the effectiveness of historical data when predicting purchasing behavior and planning product inventory. As a result, inventory moves out of the stores faster, creating a strain on both the supply chain and its financial model, leading to a gross margin problem. Join this session and hear how retailers are making inventory work for them.
