The Expert Guide to Retail Allocation and Replenishment

Boost your inventory productivity by understanding allocation and replenishment best practices, common challenges, and innovations.

As retailers must react to the increasingly complex ways consumers want to engage, the focus on inventory productivity continues to intensify. Changes in how fulfillment activities integrate with the supply chain and the downstream impact on customer experience define new considerations for developing and enhancing retail allocation and replenishment strategies.

In this expert guide, Parker Avery team members take a deep dive into some of the key components related to retail allocation and replenishment processes. We cover the end-to-end retail allocation and replenishment business processes, essential capabilities and best practices required for success, common challenges and mistakes, as well as innovations. While this guide is focused on retail, the topics and approaches discussed are relevant across traditional retail (vendor to DC, DC to store), direct-to-consumer, wholesale, or combinations of these businesses.
