Annmarie Gianni Saves Over $20k and Eliminates Inventory Risk with Conative AI
That commitment to healthy, natural ingredients also meant that their inventory could expire if held too long, creating a layer of complexity and increased pressure if they overstocked. And because the process still lived on enormous spreadsheets, forecasting and reordering was time and labor intensive, projections were less-frequent, orders were for longer periods, and they had to hope for the best.
For Alexandra, their inventory manager, there were big consequences. For overstocks alone, any excess SKUs would eventually lead to a 70% off markdown if they were about to expire.
Unlike their product, this process was unsustainable. But after creating a new workflow with Conative AI, Alexandra was hooked.
Not only was the process faster and more accurate with up-to-date data, Conative’s Component function helped Alexandra keep closer track of each ingredient, with alerts not only for stock issues but also ahead of expiration dates, and incorporating these forecasts directly into her POs. “This is such a huge help, I never want to go back to my manual workflow for this again.”
