American Apparel Inc is to start a trial of a new retail solution to help manage out-of-stock issues and improve item level security and
loss prevention in its stores. The pilot makes use of the Clarity-ARS Store Inventory Management solution from Xterprise. The tool combines inventory management with scalability to address the complexities and volumes found in retail store networks. It is designed to allow American Apparel to validate the solution's store item-level inventory and operations management capabilities in an actual store environment. American Apparel will also be able to use advanced business intelligence to better respond to stock movements and in-store consumer behaviour.
American Apparel uses a vertically integrated business model, which minimizes the use of sub-contractors and offshore labor. With currently over 225 retail stores, and plans to grow significantly in the next several years, establishing a repeatable, scalable store item-level inventory management solution is a key component of American Apparel's aggressive growth plans.
