Industry Challenges
For the past 30 years, the apparel and footwear sector has managed inventory using the same SKU-based methods and barcode technology. Amid new omnichannel buying models, increasing retailer competition, and massive shifts in consumer behaviors, the need for improved inventory accuracy has never been greater.
