Case Study: Kathmandu achieves 10% less in-store stock with ToolsGroup integrated retail planning

Kathmandu reduces in-store stock by 10% with ToolsGroup

Kathmandu, a leading outdoor and adventure retailer, faced growth challenges due to its reliance on inefficient Excel spreadsheets and a legacy planning platform. This system lacked functionality and visibility, leading to stock-outs and hampering their multi-channel business. They partnered with vendor ToolsGroup to implement an integrated retail planning solution.

ToolsGroup implemented its Assortment Planning, Demand Planning and Forecasting, Inventory Optimization, and Automated Replenishment solutions. This provided Kathmandu with the visibility and functionality needed for integrated planning. The results included a 10% average reduction of in-store stock, a decrease in stock-outs, and an increase in stock turns and cash flow.
