Key Capabilities of JDA® Size Scaling:
- Store-level size demand history used to determine size scales by product by location:
– Results in better accuracy of size scales and inventory targeting
- Pre-pack optimization to select optimal size/color packs:
– Matches pack configuration for all stores to specific size demand for each store with minimal error
- Single set of pre-pack constraints can be applied to multiple size groupings simultaneously (styles, colors, etc.)
- Store-level volumes can be sourced from history or forecast
- Optimal packs generated for each size grouping and distribution error calculated
Stockouts are one of the quickest ways to disappoint your customers … and lose sales. Yet retailers have been forever challenged with conducting low-level analysis at frequent intervals to get the right sizes to each store.
With JDA Size Scaling, you will be able to work at this fine level of detail! By rapidly reviewing a massive input of POS data, Size Scaling will determine a best-fit size template for ordering, allocation and replenishment by style, class or department. By basing your decisions on sales patterns by store and time period, you’ll dramatically increase your in-stock position with the most profitable sizes on a store-by-store basis.
Because JDA Size Scaling will work at the appropriate level of your product hierarchy, it will produce size templates that recognize the realities of retail. For example, Size Scaling will take into consideration that not all stores sell products at the same time and not all styles or SKUs perform equivalently to the store or chain average at a class level.
