Case Study: Kathmandu achieves 10% lower store stock with ToolsGroup retail planning solutions

Kathmandu reduces in-store stock by 10% with ToolsGroup

Kathmandu, a leading outdoor and adventure retailer, faced constraints on its growth due to a legacy forecasting and planning platform that relied heavily on inefficient Excel spreadsheets. The system lacked functionality and visibility, leading to process inefficiencies and an inability to quickly resolve issues like stock-outs. To support its multi-channel business, Kathmandu partnered with ToolsGroup to embark on a journey towards integrated retail planning.

ToolsGroup implemented its Assortment Planning, Demand Planning and Forecasting, Inventory Optimization, and Automated Replenishment solutions. This provided Kathmandu with an integrated system featuring greater visibility and alerting capabilities. The results were significant: ToolsGroup helped Kathmandu reduce stock in stores by an average of 10%, improve sell-through, increase stock turns, improve cash flow, and reduce stock-outs.
