Overcoming demand forecasting challenges in an omnichannel environment

In today’s post-COVID world, the consumer lives in an omnichannel environment. Features like buying online for in-store pickup are quickly becoming mainstays of the shopping experience. But while this step-change has made shopping more convenient for the consumer, it’s made business-critical activities like demand forecasting even more challenging. The shift has caused many retailers to evolve new strategies and invest in new digital capabilities that create a more accurate picture of demand across multiple channels and help retailers make the optimal inventory placement decisions to meet it.

On October 12th at 12:00 PM ET, don’t miss this interactive aim10x Roundtable led by Brady Coady, Associate VP of Merchandise Planning and Allocation at FGL Sports Ltd., as we explore questions such as:

• What factors make forecasting demand difficult in an omnichannel environment?
• How has the consumer’s choice of channel evolved prior, during, and post-COVID?
• What new capabilities have you seen or built in order to better manage omnichannel fulfillment?
• What are some of the demand-shaping techniques you’ve used, and have they been successful?
• What demand forecasting tactics are you using to reduce channel error rates?
• What inventory strategies or capabilities are you using to offset these demand forecasting challenges?
