Retailers collect information regarding consumer purchases on a transactional basis. This data is not completely being leveraged by manufacturers in the footwear and apparel industry to increase on-shelf availability. However, certain apparel and consumer products companies have developed best-in-class methods for collecting and utilizing data to enhance supply chain visibility and to drive increased sales. A description of these best-in-class practices is provided, strategies to use the data are presented, and the importance of collaboration among supply chain partners is discussed. Further, point of sale data from a footwear and apparel manufacturer is analyzed to illustrate how the data can be leveraged to predict subsequent season sales, to improve forecasting accuracy, and to allocate replenishment inventory more effectively. by Jeffrey Edward Axline [and] Brian Joseph Lebl.
