Shoppers will soon find more of the sizes and styles they want at their
local Stage, Bealls, Peebles, Palais Royal and Goody’s stores. Parent
company Stage Stores, Inc. (NYSE: SSI) has licensed analytics from business
analytics leader SAS to drive revenue
growth while improving customer satisfaction and loyalty. Stage Stores,
a SAS customer since 2005, also uses SAS®
Integrated Merchandise Planning and SAS®
Markdown Optimization.
“Having the right sizes and products that are tailored for each
store is critical in today's challenging retail environment,” said
Steven Hunter, Stage Stores CIO. “Stage Stores has worked with SAS for
years, and this latest investment in SAS®
Size Optimization will help us optimize size profiles by store to
better inform and align buying and inventory allocations to customer
demand.”
SAS Size Optimization helps retailers improve sales, margins and team
efficiencies while lowering costs. By applying analytics to transform
sales data into powerful, size-demand knowledge, they can predict future
sales and inventory needs by size and determine case-pack supply to meet
changing demand.
“Stage Stores operates in a competitive omnichannel environment, which
requires precision,” said Lori Schafer, SAS Retail Executive Advisor.
“Creating localized assortments is a complex job, and doing it right
means powerful analytics are at work. SAS Size Optimization will allow
Stage Stores to keep the right stock in the right stores at the right
time, which will keep customers coming back.”
