Case Study: Large Retailer Brand achieves $12M in annual savings with Agilence

Data Transparency Uncovers Retail Operational Inefficiencies

Large Retailer Brand, a specialty retailer with 700+ U.S. locations selling apparel, accessories, cosmetics, footwear, and housewares, was struggling with frequent price overrides and other operational inefficiencies across the enterprise. After weekly meetings failed to reduce the problem, the company turned to Agilence to identify exactly where process breakdowns were occurring.

Using Agilence’s data analytics platform, the retailer gained visibility into district-, store-, and cashier-level exceptions, brand/pricing inaccuracies, and POS threshold allowances. The result was $12 million in annual savings, a $123k margin increase in 30 days, a 40% reduction in promotion abuse in the first year, and about a 1% reduction in inventory shrink, while also improving transparency and reducing reporting labor costs.
