Case Study: The Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. achieves 96% in‑stocks and 30% higher inventory turns with 4RSystems

4R Helped Boost Performance and Increase Productivity for The Vitamin Shoppe Retail Locations

The Vitamin Shoppe, a multi-channel specialty retailer with more than 700 stores, faced a common but critical challenge: determining the right inventory levels to support growth while maintaining customer service and profitability. To answer that question and scale effectively, the company partnered with 4R Systems to optimize store and DC replenishment.

4R applied advanced inventory algorithms to weekly sales and inventory feeds, integrated profit‑optimized inventory levels into existing systems with minimal development, and completed an evaluate‑prove‑implement rollout in seven months. The result: in‑stocks improved from 90% to 96%, inventory turns increased by 30%, and staff were freed to focus on vendor relationships and broader supply‑chain improvements.
