In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, Kakaobuy's shoe clearance divisionAI-driven excess inventory early warning system, revolutionizing how fashion retailers handle slow-moving products like discounted New Balance sneakers.
Machine Learning-Powered Sales Decay Analysis
Our proprietary algorithm tracks 14 key metrics to build dynamic sales attenuation curves for each SKU:
Activation Threshold | Monitoring Cycle | Key Indicators |
---|---|---|
25% sales drop | 72-hour rolling | Add-to-cart abandonment |
35% sales decline | 48-hour intensive | Discount effectiveness |
Smart Promotion Engine
When detecting a 35% daily sales decrease (like recent New Balance 574 models), the system automatically deploys:
- Tiered discounting: progressive markdowns at 5-day intervals
- Personalized coupon bundles: matched to individual buyer's cart value
- Cross-category promotion triggers with complementary apparel
Impact Measurement
During Q2 clearance events, this system achieved:
- 78% faster stock turnover
- 27% reduction in final liquidation discounts
- 42% improvement in customer retention rates
Future Advancements
The next iteration will incorporate weather pattern analysis and regional buying trends to dynamically adjust localized promotion strategies before inventory becomes stagnant.
