From weekly meetings to continuous replenishment
How a 28-store apparel network moved from spreadsheet-driven replenishment to a continuous decision loop — and freed two days a week per buyer.
Outcome
+15% sell-through
Network
28 stores · 6 categories
The challenge
Buyers were spending nearly every Monday and Tuesday rebuilding the same replenishment view from store sell-through, on-hand and on-order spreadsheets. By the time recommendations reached store managers, the data was already two days stale.
What we changed
Solya plugged into the merchandising system and warehouse feed, then ran the team's existing replenishment rules continuously instead of weekly. Buyers kept full approval rights — what changed was the cadence and the way exceptions surfaced.
How decisions get made
Every store/SKU pair is re-evaluated several times a day against demand signals, store-level coverage targets and warehouse availability. Anything that needs a human eye (new product, low confidence, capped budget) lands in a queue with the context already attached.
Where it lands
Approved transfers and reorders flow straight back into the WMS and merchandising system. Buyers stopped exporting to Excel; store managers stopped chasing missing stock by email.
What changed
- +15% sell-through across the top three categories in the first quarter
- Two full days per week freed up per buyer
- Stock-outs on core lines dropped by more than half
