Heatwaves, polar vortexes, snowstorms, hurricanes, and routine weather volatility will always present a challenge for retailers and brands. The extreme events amplify the traffic and sales swings that are already caused by everyday changes in the weather (a few degrees warmer or cooler, rain vs. sunny skies, etc.).  Planning for the demand variability is no easy task given that the weather and its sales impacts rarely repeat from year-to-year across products and markets and often change significantly on a daily basis. This webinar shares how incorporating Planalytics’ weather-driven demand analytics into ToolsGroup solutions improve planning accuracy, boost sales by reducing out-of-stocks, and grow margins by minimizing inventory-related costs. Join us to see how applying historical and predictive weather-driven demand adjustments at scale within ToolsGroup enhances planning, allocation, replenishment, reporting, and more.
