Empty Shelves and Supply Chain Woes - 7thonline Answers Calls from Retail Giants with SaaS Solution

‘Inventory Control Desk™’

Retailers are struggling to keep products on the shelves to keep their customers happy. Inventory management has become a guessing game driven by fear. “Companies are so scared of not having what they need that they are erring on the side of ordering “a lot” said Scott Hoyt, senior director for Moody’s Analytics. *

“We are thrilled to bring ‘Inventory Control Desk™’ to

market. The final product is a true collaboration with clients and industry colleagues alike. We have signed-on several major retailers with one having over 8000 stores.

– Chris Chung, 7thonline President, Americas & EMEA

A CNBC press release on May 24, 2022, states, “They [retailers] double order to get inventory in the door, and then as demand softens, they can end up with too much inventory and have to cut back and markdown existing inventory…Walmart was off by a lot — caught with 32% more inventory year over year. Target was higher by 43%; Abercrombie & Fitch inventory was up 45% year over year.”*

“It’s crazy,” former Walmart president and CEO Bill Simon told CNBC last week. ″I mean 8% would have been high, 15% would have been terrible, 32% is apocalyptic. I mean that’s billions of dollars of inventory. That’s just frankly not managed very well.”*

‘Inventory Control Desk™’ was designed to address the challenges facing retail executives regarding managing inventory level liquidity and optimizing working capital to name a few which will result in improved customer satisfaction and increased revenue and profits.
