Inventory, data and warehouses for fashion and sports retail
Collections, sizes and long supplier lead times. We automate warehouses for Sportisimo, optimize inventory for CERVA with Veritico STOCK and build BI for season planning.
What makes fashion and sports hard
Long supplier lead times
Goods are ordered months ahead, so an error in the forecast shows up when it can no longer be fixed.
Seasons and collections
Each season starts without history for most of its items.
Sizes and variants
One model means dozens of SKUs, and the missing size is the one customers ask for.
E‑shop next to stores
Online orders, returns and store replenishment compete for the same stock and the same warehouse.
What we solve as consultants
Automated warehouses
For Sportisimo we designed a growth‑ready logistics strategy and an automated warehouse with a footwear sorter and an e‑shop line, with an evaluated four‑year payback.
Data and BI
For Arctic Fox we built a BI tool for decisions on assortment, stock structure, promotions and season readiness.
Reporting automation
Regular reports that used to be assembled by hand, generated from one data source.

Veritico STOCK from Logio has delivered exactly what we expected. It has increased the availability of goods and improved the replaceability of individual items. We no longer have to enter data into Excel spreadsheets a million times; the inventory management and optimization software provides it at the touch of a button. It suggests orders regularly as needed, so our response time to customer requests is much faster.
