Case Study: Shane Co achieves higher sales and lower inventory costs with Retalon

Shane Co - Customer Case Study

Shane Co., the largest privately‑owned jewelry retailer in the United States, struggled with high-cost and often one‑of‑a‑kind merchandise plus extreme seasonal spikes (Valentine’s Day, Christmas) that caused inventory imbalances and broken assortments across locations, complicating purchasing, allocation and replenishment. To tackle this, Shane Co. engaged Retalon, deploying Retalon Predictive Analytics and its Inter‑Store Inventory & Assortment Balancing solution.

Retalon delivered highly accurate demand forecasts and automated purchase order, allocation and replenishment schedules that account for seasonality, geo‑demographic differences and assortment depth versus diversity. Retalon’s solution optimized assortments across stores to boost sales while maintaining significantly lower inventory cost, proactively balanced inventory to avoid lost sales and needless markdowns, and substantially reduced the manual labor required for inventory planning and decision‑making.
