Rapid AI rollout delivers intuitive decision-making, better availability and measurable results across 70 stores in 12 countries

Invent.ai, a global leader in retail inventory optimization solutions, has been named a 2025 Top Supply Chain Projects Award winner by Supply & Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics. The recognition highlights invent.ai’s partnership with Alo Yoga, where its AI-decisioning platform delivered real-time demand forecasting, enhancing replenishment and operational efficiency across 70 stores in 12 countries.

“This award reflects the speed, scale, and strategic value that AI can bring to retail planning,” said Gurhan Kok, Founder and CEO of invent.ai. “We’re proud to help brands like Alo Yoga break free from outmoded tools and step into a new era of intelligent, real-time decision-making fueled by predictive analytics and automation.”

Alo Yoga launches new styles every two weeks, putting intense pressure on inventory operations. Traditional planning tools were unable to keep pace, resulting in stock imbalances, delayed replenishment, and inefficiencies across the global network. The brand needed a faster, more adaptive way to plan at scale. 

With invent.ai, the Alo Yoga teams were fully equipped with a tailored, AI-powered solution in just six weeks, drastically improving forecasting accuracy, process optimization, and planning agility while freeing teams from time-consuming manual workflows.  

Award-winning outcomes include:

• 80% reduction in manual planning time
• Improved allocation and replenishment decisions across 12 countries
• Faster, more accurate demand forecasting
• Enhanced product availability without increasing inventory levels
• Scalable support for global expansion with real-time monitoring and cloud-based solutions

As retailers face pressure from volatile demand, tighter margins, and global expansion, invent.ai offers a better way forward. Its AI-decisioning platform combines data, machine learning,g and IoT integration to help planning teams act quickly, confidently and with greater precision. 

“Many of today’s supply chain companies are tasked with providing the utmost in visibility. Whether it’s tracking reverse logistics, implementing financial software or upgrading sourcing solutions, collaborations and partnerships are what make supply chain projects a success. That’s why it’s important to celebrate those projects (and partnerships),” says Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive and co-founder of the Women in Supply Chain Forum.
