Special Events

Unlock the True Potential of Special Events

Common Practice:

Adjusting inventory targets for special events often involves applying blanket increases to entire categories. Retailers tend to use conventional methods that lack the ability to differentiate between individual SKU-locations, leading to inefficiencies in inventory management.

The Problem:

This one-size-fits-all approach fails to consider the unique characteristics of each product in specific store locations. For best-selling items, the overall increase might not be sufficient to meet the surge in demand, resulting in stockouts and missed sales opportunities. On the other hand, slower-moving items might end up with excessive stock, leading to unnecessary waste and tying up capital.

What Can Be Changed:

With Onebeat's Special Event Feature, retailers can break free from traditional methods and adopt a granular approach to inventory adjustments. Our solution empowers retailers to treat each SKU-location differently, acknowledging the diverse demand patterns and potential sales impact during special events.

An impressive surge in sales conversions during special events, reduced stockouts, and minimized inventory waste.
