Omni-Channel Retail Going Global
Robust Planning for Profit Growth

Omni-channel retailing presents exciting profit opportunities for global brands. That is why leading apparel, footwear and accessories brands are moving fast to re-align their business processes in order to better plan for sales opportunities and drive inventory productivity across their brick-and-mortar stores, eCommerce sites and wholesale accounts.

In addition to breaking down inventory walls between channels, successful omni-channel retailing also requires better understanding of local opportunities when brands enter into new global markets. This need to accurately serve regional demand now adds to the overall planning complexity for a brand to drive accurate production and buy orders for all of its regions as well as channels. A brand, therefore, needs to gain complete demand visibility and be able to effectively forecast and plan for diverse selling patterns unique to each one of the channels and regions.
