The challenges of traditional replenishment methods
Traditional replenishment planning’s increasing challenges have a lot to do with unchanged methods.? These methods usually lead to overstock and understock situations, stemming from their inability to accurately predict and respond to market changes. Overstock results in unnecessary inventory which is simply not sustainable, while understock means missed sales opportunities and less satisfied customers.
One of the key limitations of these traditional methods is their reliance on historical sales data and linear forecasting models, which fail to account for the dynamic nature of the retail market. This results in a lack of responsiveness to emerging trends, sudden changes in consumer demand, or seasonal variations.
One could say online e-commerce advancements are killing physical retail, but luckily some technology actually boosts it. Predictive SKU models which work via deep learning mechanisms can greatly decrease issues like overstocking because of this technology. At WAIR our AI-driven solution has already helped many retailers by increasing their revenue through these self improving predictive methods.
The emergence of deep learning in retail
Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, is rapidly becoming indispensable in the retail sector. Its ability to process and learn from vast amounts of data surpasses traditional analytical methods, making it a crucial tool for retailers seeking to adapt to the fast-paced market.
For retail companies, deep learning is no longer a futuristic concept but it is already becoming more and more of a necessity. It enables the analysis of complex patterns, understanding consumer behavior, and predicting future trends with a degree of accuracy previously unattainable. This capability is especially vital in an industry where trends are fleeting, and consumer preferences shift rapidly.
