Footwear

Size-run stock management and seasonal buying for footwear retailers and distributors.

About this industry

Footwear is bought and sold in size runs. A design is only genuinely sellable while the common sizes remain, and a broken run represents stock that will almost certainly be marked down. Article numbers, colours and sizes multiply into a catalogue that quickly outgrows manual tracking.

Common operational problems

  • Broken size runs leave unsellable stock that still shows as available
  • Article, colour and size combinations create an unmanageable manual list
  • Seasonal and festival demand spikes are met with the wrong sizes
  • Box-level stock in the storeroom does not match the display
  • Returns and exchanges disturb stock accuracy

Example workflows

  1. Article-colour-size variant tracking with size-run visibility

  2. Barcode billing at box level

  3. Size-wise sell-through to guide replenishment

  4. Exchange handling that keeps stock correct

  5. Ageing to identify broken runs for clearance
