Case Study: JYSK Canada achieves 30% inventory reduction with LS Retail Inventory Optimizer

Inventory levels down by 30% through customized reporting

JYSK Canada, part of the international JYSK home-furnishing chain, operates 41 stores across four time zones and two distribution centers (Vancouver and Toronto), supplying about 8,000 SKUs. Rapid growth, rising inventory levels, too many people involved in purchasing and a lack of clear managerial oversight created a need for better demand forecasting, inventory optimization and seamless integration with their existing Microsoft Dynamics NAV/LS Nav ERP.

JYSK implemented LS Retail Inventory Optimizer, which uses NAV sales data to auto-select forecasting methods, generate optimized order proposals and provide customizable Manage-by-Exception reports that prioritize top sellers and flag anomalies. The solution improved lead-time handling across multiple suppliers and warehouses, automated purchasing workflows and increased forecast accuracy — cutting inventory levels by 30%, reducing stock-outs and waste, saving purchasing time and freeing working capital after a fast, low-effort rollout.
