About Alamode:

Alamode is one of India's leading fast fashion e-commerce brands, boasting over 18,500 active SKUs across 8 categories. Known for its trendy and diverse product offerings, Alamode faced significant challenges in managing its extensive inventory efficiently.

The Challenge:

Alamode's rapid growth and expansive product range led to several inventory management challenges:

  • Tracking Pending Vendor Orders: The use of isolated spreadsheets made it difficult to track pending vendor orders, hampering restocking estimations.
  • Restocking Newly Launched SKUs: Recently launched SKUs were often missed in restocking due to the unavailability of their in-stock Daily Rate of Return (DRR).
  • Manual Inventory Analysis: Inventory analysis was a time-consuming manual process, taking up to 3 hours each time.
  • Lack of Bestseller Stockout Dashboard: There was no dashboard to effectively track stockouts of bestsellers, impacting sales and customer satisfaction.

The Solution: EasyReplenish

To address these challenges, Alamode turned to EasyReplenish. The solution provided several key benefits:

  • Seamless Vendor Order Tracking: Vendors can now enter dispatch details easily, providing clear visibility of all pending orders.
  • Automated Inventory Analysis: The time required for inventory analysis was drastically reduced from 3 hours to mere minutes, thanks to automated pre-filled purchase orders with accurate stocking estimates.
  • In-Stock DRR Calculation: EasyReplenish introduced an accurate in-stock DRR method, enabling Alamode to identify bestsellers quickly and restock them efficiently.
  • Smart Purchase Planning: Leveraging ABC classification, Alamode could now minimize stockouts and plan working capital more strategically.

Impact: Before vs after EasyReplenish
