How did La Redoute reduce packaging inventory by 50%?

La Redoute's procurement team deployed Flowlity across 20 packaging products (bags and boxes) at two sites, Quai 30 and Building Z. The platform treats both sites as a single storage space while accounting for site-specific characteristics: the storage site each product goes to depends on the space available, and Building Z is dedicated storage while Pier 30 also hosts the packaging line. From these data, Flowlity's algorithms generated consumption forecasts, safety stock recommendations, and supply recommendations for suppliers, drawing on nearly three years of historical orders and past stocks (2017 to end of May 2019). After six months of use, La Redoute's teams measured a 50% reduction in inventory, and Flowlity became the daily replenishment management tool. The combination of cross-site planning and AI-driven safety stock recommendations is what enabled the inventory drop, because each site no longer needed to carry its own full defensive buffer.
