Inventory management for apparel brands
Inventory management for apparel brands means planning at the variant level: every style splits into a grid of sizes and colours, each with its own demand. Logistified forecasts that size curve, sets per-variant reorder points, and surfaces sell-through and GMROI so you reorder bestsellers and clear dead sizes before markdowns.
The inventory challenges
- Size and colour combinations explode SKU counts, so a single style can hide dozens of variants that each need their own plan.
- Deep seasonality and short selling windows mean a misjudged buy is hard to recover within the season.
- Size-curve forecasting is hard: you want to reorder the sizes that sell and avoid overbuying the tails that turn into dead stock.
- Markdown and dead-stock risk eats margin when the wrong variants pile up at the end of a season.
Forecast every variant, including seasonal curves
Logistified runs 12 demand-forecast models and auto-selects the best fit per SKU, with seasonal models on the Enhanced plan that capture the spikes and short windows apparel lives on. Because forecasting happens at the variant level, each size and colour gets its own projection instead of a blended style-level average that hides the real size curve.
Per-variant reorder points keep bestsellers in stock
Every variant gets a lead-time-aware reorder point, so replenishment fires for the sizes that are actually selling before they stock out. Purchase orders turn those signals into supplier orders, and on the Elevate plan the constraint optimizer balances minimums and budgets across the buy.
Spot dead sizes with the KPI dashboard
The KPI dashboard tracks sell-through rate, GMROI, and ABC analysis so you can see which variants earn their shelf space and which are stalling. That makes it obvious which sizes to reorder and which to mark down early, instead of discovering the dead tails only after the season ends.

Frequently asked
Can Logistified forecast at the size and colour level?
Yes. Forecasting runs per variant, so each size and colour combination gets its own demand projection and reorder point rather than a single style-level number.
How do I find dead sizes before they need markdowns?
The KPI dashboard's sell-through rate, GMROI, and ABC analysis highlight slow-moving variants early, so you can reorder strong sizes and clear weak ones before end-of-season markdowns.
Does it handle seasonal demand?
Logistified includes seasonal forecast models on the Enhanced plan, and its auto-select chooses the best model per SKU to capture seasonal spikes and short selling windows.
