Retail · Fashion
In fashion, inventory has an expiry date.
Collections change, size curves multiply SKUs and demand varies by store, region and channel. Planning, assortment, allocation and pricing must keep pace with the season before inventory turns into lost margin.
The complexity is in the timing
The right product also has to arrive at the right time.
- 01Collection vs. demand
- Demand has to be forecast months ahead, when most of it is still unknown.
- 02Size curve & depth
- Color, size and style multiply inventory decisions for a single product.
- 03Local assortment
- The mix that works in one store may not work in another.
- 04Allocation
- Having inventory is not enough. It must be where demand exists.
- 05Full price vs. markdown
- Every week sold at full price protects margin. Every late markdown turns a demand mistake into a loss.
- 06Channel vs. inventory
- Physical and digital stores compete for and share the same availability.
The fashion cycle
Every collection starts long before it reaches the store.

Time changes the value of inventory
In fashion, getting demand or price wrong costs more with every week that passes.
A poor buying or allocation decision can be corrected early in the collection. The further the season goes, the less room there is to recover margin.
