Allocation of products in the fashion & luxury goods sector
The company is a multinational company in the fashion & luxury goods sector that had the goal of automating and improving the process of allocating products in stock to its retailers distributed worldwide.
- Description and benefits
The fashion world has two main sales campaigns: autumn-winter and spring-summer. For each campaign, the new collections are presented and, later on, orders placed by buyers all over the world are collected. The process of producing the garments can take up to several months, and it all falls on the supply chain team, which not only has to deal with the daily allocation of products, but has to ensure buyer satisfaction, without affecting the entire supply process. We formalized all this in mathematical terms and developed a software that, through optimization algorithms and distributed calculation, allows our client to perform the allocation in a very short time.
From 8 hours to 3 minutes
The time to run the allocation has been drastically reduced
Performance optimization
After entering the objectives and all the constraints, the algorithm can prioritize the most profitable market areas
Automatic allocation
Objective and traceable allocation criteria guarantee transparency to clients
deepening case study
As intelligent as an octopus
The mathematical algorithm we developed has become so indispensable to the customer that the supply chain team has given it a special name: Octopus.
This is because our algorithm:
● like an octopus, considered one of the most intelligent marine animals, can untangle an ocean of products and orders;
● it can simultaneously make several calculations, during allocation processes, just as octopuses use their eight tentacles independently.
