Case Study: A101 achieves 50% fewer store stock-outs and 18% higher inventory turns with Solvoyo

A101 - Customer Case Study

A101, one of Turkey’s fastest-growing hard-discount retailers with 8,000 stores, 42 distribution centers and $4B revenue (2018), faced exploding inventory costs, frequent stock-outs, obsolete items and waste as it scaled. Much of its replenishment, purchasing and transport planning was manual or Excel-based, creating millions of daily decision points that the business could not manage efficiently — so A101 partnered with Solvoyo to modernize planning.

Solvoyo deployed a machine‑learning powered planning platform to automate demand planning, replenishment, DC purchasing and transportation, integrating recommendations into A101’s SAP ERP. The solution generates ~10M daily store replenishment recommendations, cuts plan exceptions to 1%, and delivers measurable results: over 40% year‑over‑year growth, an 18% increase in inventory turns, 50% fewer store stock-outs and a 5% reduction in transportation cost per unit — all managed with a single central planner.
