Apparel Inventory Management and Demand Forecasting AI "Vestory" Now Supports Standard Excel Uploads in Any Format

Vestory, an AI agent for inventory management and demand forecasting in the fashion and apparel industry provided by Hicrea Inc. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yosuke Kanematsu), now supports an upload function that can import Excel files in any format as standard.

This new support allows businesses to import data such as sales, inventory, and orders into Vestory using their existing formats, enabling them to begin optimizing orders and inventory without disrupting their current workflows.

Background of Development

Vestory is an AI agent that improves cash flow while increasing sales and profits by predicting demand and automatically suggesting optimal orders. The accuracy of its predictions and suggestions is heavily influenced by the freshness and accuracy of the input data, as well as the volume of data that can be imported.

While it was previously possible to import Excel files, individual development was required to match each company's unique format, which led to extended implementation periods. Since sales, inventory, and order performance are managed in different formats by each business, differences in format became a hurdle to starting data utilization.

This new standard support for the upload function aims to eliminate the need for individual development, allow data import regardless of format, thereby shortening implementation time, and maximize the accuracy of demand forecasting and order suggestions by reflecting more data in Vestory.

Feature Overview

By pre-defining the mapping of data items, Excel files in the formats companies have traditionally used can now be imported directly from the upload page. Since it can be used without individual development for each format, businesses can leverage their existing data for demand forecasting and inventory management without changing their current workflows.

This allows businesses to implement Vestory in a short period and focus on high-value tasks such as demand forecast verification and order decisions, while maintaining their existing operations.

Future Outlook

Hicrea Inc. will continue to sequentially improve features to make Vestory more accessible for apparel and fashion businesses, such as expanding data import methods and integrating with external services.

By creating an environment where data is seamlessly connected, we will maximize the value of AI-driven inventory optimization and contribute to solving inventory challenges and improving profitability for the entire apparel industry.
