Industry Challenges

The Real Obstacles to Precision in Home Improvement and Hardware Retail

Rising costs, shifting demand, and complex supply cycles have made precision non-negotiable. Every planning choice now defines margin and momentum.

Excess Stock in Seasonal Categories

Bulk purchasing of grills, heaters, and other seasonal products locks up capital. When demand peaks change, inventory sits in the wrong place or at the wrong time.

Store Profiles Ignored in Assortments

Identical planograms across regions dilute productivity. Without localized planning, assortments fail to match customer behavior, climate, or professional demand.

Siloed Decisions Across Teams

When pricing, forecasting, and inventory work separately, retailers lose agility. Connected planning drives alignment and faster decisions across every function.

Demand Swings from Market Volatility

Housing starts, inflation, and DIY spending shift constantly. Without real-time forecasting, these swings turn into overstock, missed sales, or margin loss.
