Right place, right product

Initial allocation is the process of determining how much inventory to place in each sales channel/location for new products. This is a crucial step in the management of fashion and short lifecycle products. Misplaced stocks can lead to excessive markdowns, operational burdens to transfer, and lost sales. The main challenge is determining the right amount of product for each sales channel and location based on the expected sales.

An AI/ML-Driven Cognitive Technology

Solvoyo ML/AI-driven cognitive technology continuously monitors similar products’ in-season performance and recommends the best allocation strategy based on recent sales trends. Integrated with the Initial Allocation solution Shipment Strategy module allows retailers to manage initial allocation parameters, such as store clusters, shelf date, and product life.

Start Your Digital Transformation Journey

Solvoyo recommendations consider localized assortment plans approved by merchandisers, minimum presentation quantities, and pre-pack configurations. The solution can be integrated with the ERP/WMS for automated work-order creation so that allocation plans can be executed without manual intervention. This solution comes with configurable dashboard functionality where users can change the view of the report and its context.
