Unsold inventory in the fashion industry creates a dual challenge: significant environmental waste and substantial financial losses for brands through missed sales, high inventory costs, and expensive clearance solutions.
In this 2-hour case study at LED 2025, you'll partner with Hugo Boss, a Metyis client, to address these challenges through two strategic objectives: strengthening their sustainability initiatives and advancing their internal processes through data-driven decision-making.
Your task is to develop a demand forecasting model that supports the inventory buying process of Hugo Boss. By optimally allocating the buying budget across product categories, the model can play an important role in creating a sustainable buying process for Hugo Boss where sales potential is maximized and unsold inventory is minimized.
To build the predictive model, you'll have access to a comprehensive dataset encompassing historical sales data, planned promotional activities, weather patterns, consumer sentiment indicators, and economic metrics such as inflation rates. The integration of these diverse data sources will enable a sophisticated approach to demand prediction.
We are looking forward to seeing your innovative solution to this high-impact challenge!
