PlanAI Retail Assistant in Action

Real-world retail scenarios powered by AI

Inventory Optimization Query
"Our women's apparel category has 45 days of inventory but men's only has 20 days. How should we rebalance?"
PlanAI Assistant: Based on your inventory levels, here's my recommended rebalancing strategy:

Immediate Actions:
• Analyze sell-through rates for both categories over the last 90 days
• Review upcoming seasonal trends and promotions
• Check supplier lead times for quick replenishment

Rebalancing Strategy:
• Implement 20-30% markdowns on slow-moving women's items
• Increase men's category orders by 40% for next delivery
• Consider flash sales to move excess women's inventory
• Set target inventory days: Women's 30-35, Men's 25-30
