Wolverine Worldwide

The objective is to optimize the assortments to generate a sales opportunity of 5 Million Dollars.

“The first indications of return on investment (ROI) are simply phenomenal for us. In one case, a brand we had never worked with before agreed to introduce a line of our products to 100 outlets almost immediately after we communicated the results to them, which represents an additional sales opportunity of nearly $5 million this year.” – Lindsey Goodman, Director of Consumer Insights at Wolverine Worldwide

Another issue was a significant reduction in costs and an increase in the speed of market access.

“With digital style testing, we can shorten our product development schedule by at least 40% and reduce physical samples by up to 70%” – Lindsey Goodman, Director of Consumer Insights at Wolverine Worldwide

“Streamlining SKUs is essential, but it is not in itself the mission. The mission is to better serve the consumer. The end result is a rationalization of SKUs, choosing better products and meeting the needs of consumers. Ensuring good tracking allows Kohl’s to focus more on meeting customer needs and be more relevant in terms of style. It allows Khol’s to be smarter in their product assortments and be more efficient in choosing the right products” – Dan Plas, Senior Vice President – General Manager Accessories, Jewelry, Footwear, & Impulse/Gifting at Kohl’s
