Description
Summary:"For retail businesses, inventory is simultaneously the company's greatest asset and its largest risk. Competitor pricing, markdowns, and returns all threaten the margins that drive success, and in practice, inventory doesn't always move according to plan. To win in this highly competitive and rapidly evolving industry, it's essential to have a flexible toolkit that accurately produces forecasts and intelligently adapts to unplanned inventory dynamics.
