What this community discusses
Retail means keeping shelves, stores and screens stocked at the same time. This is the place to share how teams make sure a promotion has the stock behind it, plan seasonal demand months ahead, and control the distribution costs that shape the price on the shelf.
- Promotions and demand planning
- Seasonal buying and range planning
- Omnichannel fulfilment and distribution cost
- Stock turn and markdown management
Where the industry is heading
It also looks at how data, automation and connected stores are changing retail, the shift the Industry Essentials course calls Industry 5.0, and how that reshapes forecasting, replenishment and the link between the shelf and the supplier.
Who it is for
Buyers, merchandisers, demand and allocation planners, and supply chain and logistics professionals across retail, fashion and luxury, and fast-moving consumer goods.
