4 Ways to Reduce Inventory Replenishment Time to Increase Sales and Profits
Over the last 30 years, there's been a consistent push to streamline business processes. After all, time is money. Nowhere is this more applicable than in supply chain processes. As retailers get more information about a sales event, the accuracy of demand forecasting improves dramatically. The more time retailers can remove from the buying/replenishment cycles, the more accurate the inventory purchase will be. With an accurate inventory purchase, retailers see increased sales through higher order fulfillment, increased gross margin through fewer markdowns and increased cash flow through better scheduling of inventory.
