Addressing Apparel Industry Challenges
Apparel, footwear, and accessories companies face numerous challenges that demand innovative and agile solutions. Key among these challenges are:


Seasonality: Fluctuating demand due to changing seasons and trends requires agile inventory management strategies. Companies must anticipate shifts in consumer preferences and ensure their inventory aligns with these changes to avoid stockouts or overstock situations.


Inventory Management: Managing diverse stockkeeping units, sizes, and styles is complex. Effective inventory management involves balancing the right amount of stock to meet demand without tying up excessive capital in unsold items, which is crucial for maintaining profitability and customer satisfaction.


SKU Proliferation: Introducing new products and variations to meet consumer demands adds complexity to supply chain operations. Managing an increasing number of Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) requires sophisticated systems and strategies to handle the growing complexity efficiently.
