Reducing Stockouts for a Fast-Fashion E-commerce Retailer
"Errna's AI solution gave us the foresight we desperately needed. We went from constantly reacting to stock issues to proactively managing our inventory. The impact on sales and customer satisfaction was immediate and substantial."
Sarah Jenkins, COO, Fashionopoly
The Problem
A rapidly growing online fashion retailer was struggling with frequent stockouts on popular items and significant overstock on others due to unpredictable, trend-driven demand. Their manual forecasting methods couldn't keep up, leading to lost sales and high carrying costs.
Our Solution
We implemented an AI-powered demand forecasting and replenishment system that analyzed sales data, social media trends, and promotional calendars to predict demand for thousands of SKUs. The system generated automated, optimized replenishment orders.
- Deployed custom forecasting models for short-lifecycle products.
- Integrated real-time sales data from their Shopify platform.
- Created an early-warning system for potential stockout events.
- Optimized safety stock levels based on demand volatility.
Optimizing Raw Material Inventory for an Automotive Parts Manufacturer
"The visibility Errna provided into our raw material needs was a game-changer. We reduced costly production line stoppages and optimized our cash flow by not holding unnecessary stock. Their team understood our complex manufacturing environment perfectly."
David Chen, VP of Operations, Caterpillar Inc.
The Problem
An automotive parts manufacturer faced production delays due to unexpected shortages of critical raw materials. Their ERP system's static reorder points failed to account for variable supplier lead times and fluctuating production schedules, leading to inefficiency and excess costs.
Our Solution
We developed a multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO) solution that forecasted demand for finished goods and translated it into an optimized inventory plan for raw materials across multiple plant locations. The system factored in predictive lead times and production constraints.
- Integrated with their SAP ERP system for production and supplier data.
- Built AI models to predict supplier lead time variability.
- Optimized the flow of materials between central and plant-level warehouses.
- Provided a "what-if" scenario planning tool for supply disruptions.
Improving Forecast Accuracy for a CPG Company
"Seasonal demand and promotions used to be a massive headache. Errna's AI platform allowed us to plan with incredible accuracy, ensuring our products were on the shelf when customers wanted them, without the expensive aftermath of overproduction."
Maria Rodriguez, Director of Supply Chain, Amcor
The Problem
A major food and beverage company struggled to forecast demand accurately for products with high seasonality and frequent promotions. This resulted in significant waste from expired products after demand peaks and lost revenue from stockouts during them.
Our Solution
We implemented a sophisticated demand forecasting solution that could isolate and predict the impact of seasonality, holidays, and specific marketing promotions. The model learned from past events to improve the accuracy of future forecasts.
- Incorporated external data like holiday calendars and weather forecasts.
- Developed algorithms to quantify promotional lift accurately.
- Created a collaborative forecasting dashboard for sales and operations teams.
- Automated the generation of weekly forecasts for over 500 SKUs.

What Our Clients Say
Our 95%+ client retention rate is built on trust, transparency, and delivering exceptional results.
The level of detail and accuracy in Errna's forecasting model is something we thought was years away. It has fundamentally changed how we plan our business. We're not just managing inventory anymore; we're optimizing our entire cash conversion cycle.
We were hesitant about the complexity of an AI project. The Errna team made it seamless. They handled the data integration with our legacy ERP flawlessly and delivered a pilot that showed a 15% reduction in carrying costs within three months. They delivered on their promise.
In our industry, stockouts are not an option. Errna's AI solution for safety stock optimization has given us a new level of confidence in our ability to serve patients while managing costs effectively. Their understanding of regulated industries was a huge asset.
Our in-house data team is sharp, but we lacked the specific supply chain AI expertise. Partnering with Errna was like adding a world-class AI division overnight. They collaborated with our team, upskilled them, and delivered a solution faster than we could have imagined.
The dashboard and the 'explainable AI' aspect were critical for us. My team can see exactly why the system recommends a certain order quantity. It has built immense trust in the technology and has made my team's job more strategic and less about manual data entry.
From a financial perspective, this project was a clear winner. The reduction in capital tied up in excess inventory freed up cash for us to invest in other growth areas. Errna provided a clear business case from day one, and the results have exceeded our expectations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about implementing AI for inventory optimization.
How long does implementation typically take?
While every project is unique, a typical pilot program can be launched within 8-12 weeks. This allows us to demonstrate value quickly. A full, enterprise-wide rollout is usually completed in 6-9 months, depending on the complexity of your operations and the number of integrations required.
What kind of data do you need from us?
To build effective models, we typically need at least two years of historical data, including sales/shipment history at the SKU/location level, inventory levels, purchase orders, supplier lead times, and product master data. Information on past promotions and marketing events is also highly valuable.
Will our team need data science skills to use the system?
Absolutely not. Our solutions are designed for business users—planners, buyers, and supply chain managers. We deliver the AI-driven insights through intuitive dashboards and reports that are easy to understand and act upon. Your team's domain expertise combined with our AI's recommendations is what drives success.
How do you ensure the AI model stays accurate over time?
Our service includes continuous model monitoring and retraining. We track the model's performance against actual results and automatically retrain it on a regular basis with new data. This ensures the system adapts to changes in your business, customer behavior, and the market, maintaining high accuracy over the long term.
