Goal: Avoid Stock-outs and Markdowns Solution: True Demand Prediction
How are decisions being made today?
© 2016 Celect, Inc. Confidential. Do Not Distribute.6
I think Athleisure-wear is going to be even bigger this year.
We sold 100 Platform Sandals two years ago, 200 last year,
so I will forecast 300 for this year.
• These decisions are made using Excel and gut instinct
• Why is this no longer enough?
‒ Customer expectations have changed along with how they buy
‒ Markdowns increasing, margins shrinking
There’s a better way

  1. http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/3487917 https://www.drapersonline.com/news/top-five-retail-and-fashion-trends-for-2017/7016873.article http://www.biztechmagazine.com/article/2016/06/why-predictive-analytics-need-be-part-every-retailers-growth-strategy
  2. Why is it in the news? Well, shopper expectations have changed.
  3. Other Talking Points: - In Finance, there are complex models that are tuned towards portfolio optimization, and in many cases it is easier in Finance - There is no predictive model which can currently handle the complexity of Retail (outside of Celect)
  4. Thankfully there’s a better way to make decisions from your data. Use data you already have – mentioned in previous slide. Just need to operationalize that data. Things like inventory data, browse history, crm data, etc. You have it all, it just needs to be pieced together. By understanding customer choice, your data allows us to understand how they interact with a specific assortment – and how products interact.
  5. Portfolio = YOUR INVENTORY Main points: - this is very hard stuff, incredibly complex system under the hood - But we deliver it in an easy to use to use platform - For use by non-sophisticated users (retail merchants and planners) - We deliver prescriptive insights with interactive real-time optimization, allowing for scenario planning and analysis
  6. Store vs Store Gray hoodie: http://shop.lululemon.com/p/jackets-and-hoodies-hoodies/Take-Ten-Hoodie/_/prod1960071?rcnt=1&N=8a2&cnt=5&color=LW4IDXS_023133 Blue: http://shop.lululemon.com/p/jackets-and-hoodies-hoodies/Scuba-Hoodie-III/_/prod7390379?rcnt=3&N=8a2&cnt=5&color=LW4IC7S_4411
  7. Store vs Store Gray hoodie: http://shop.lululemon.com/p/jackets-and-hoodies-hoodies/Take-Ten-Hoodie/_/prod1960071?rcnt=1&N=8a2&cnt=5&color=LW4IDXS_023133 Blue: http://shop.lululemon.com/p/jackets-and-hoodies-hoodies/Scuba-Hoodie-III/_/prod7390379?rcnt=3&N=8a2&cnt=5&color=LW4IC7S_4411
  8. Retailers are unable to answer those questions with the tools they have today. A prime example of this is spreadsheets.
  9. This process is lacking prescriptive insights and decision making capabilities to drive revenues. Celect is here to do just that.
  10. MIT CSAIL noted our underlying technology in their top 50 greatest innovations, along side notables like technologies such as The Digital Computer, Akamai, e-Mail, robotics… and the spreadsheet.
  11. From hindsight to foresight.
