Stay ahead in today’s complex retail landscape and seamlessly meet shoppers, anytime, anywhere. The 7thonline team conducted a concept study* based on various metrics such as revenue and gross profit margin, to show the impact of our platform for various brands. The concept study includes aggressive, likely and conservative scenarios to calculate the return on investment for our multi-channel and corporate demand planning solutions.
Using 7thonline’s demand forecasting and consumer-centric selling tactics, we ran the numbers for a conservative ROI analysis of a multi-channel brand generating $2B annual revenue:
- The detailed analysis projects an additional $23.9M in revenue due to increased margins across wholesale and direct-to-consumer channels in the first year.
- Using AI for operational efficiency saved the brand around $6.5M in SG&A (Selling, General and Administrative) and inventory carrying costs for the first year.
- The annual net benefit of the platform jumps from $25.1M in year one to $34.1M in year two as the system refines its recommendations to maximize merchandising decisions.
Our AI-native platform leverages proprietary, vertical-specific algorithms and industry best practices to deliver value across wholesale, DTC and ecommerce channels—no matter the brand’s size. As businesses grow, our system scales seamlessly and unlocks greater potential, maximizing returns for multi-channel brands.
*7thonline’s ROI model was developed by Kurt Salmon, part of Accenture Strategy, based on an independent study of 7thonline’s clients to serve as a benchmark for investment evaluation for retail executives.
