JDA Size Scaling

Each season, apparel retailers and manufacturers are challenged to produce precise size curves that allocate style-level size spreads to different locations. JDA Size Scaling helps businesses with the assortment, ordering, manufacturing, distribution and replenishment of properly sized products in order to optimize their overall inventory. This innovative solution relies on sales data and store clustering to determine a profitable, best-fit size scale.

How does it solve your business challenges?

To augment location-level “size demand” accuracy, JDA Size Scaling rapidly reviews massive inputs of historical point-of-sale (POS) data — then conducts a low-level, detailed analysis at appropriate intervals to ensure that the most profitable sizes are at each location. With sales patterns by location and time period driving your sizing decisions, you’ll dramatically increase your in-stock position, while reducing clearance and markdowns of wrong sizes.

What are the benefits?

  • Improved decision-making process and lower personnel requirements
  • Increased size distribution accuracy and sell-through rates
  • Reductions in out-of-stocks and overstocks
  • Greater efficiency in distribution center operations

 Why JDA?

JDA Size Scaling transforms the generation of detailed size curves into an automated, cost-effective process, driven by advanced predictive and descriptive mathematical techniques. By launching updates at the right frequency, the solution recognizes unique consumer shopping patterns by time period and changing demographics, revealing the highest-demand size curves.
