Omnichannel Inventory
You follow one womenswear denim style at a 62-shop retailer with a website through a nine-week phase. A network holding 4,180 units could promise 2,878 and serve real demand with only 1,177. A ship-from-store router rescued a week of orders and destroyed margin doing it. And a season was lost to four decisions that were each defensible on their own.

Course value
What will you be able to do?
Work outcome
You can allocate an intake across stores on evidence rather than an even split, tell the difference between the stock your system claims and the stock that exists, and plan for returns as a cost you priced in.
Who it is for
Brand and buying-office teams.
What you will produce
You build a working omnichannel stock position for one style. You run the six-step waterfall from system on-hand down to promisable units. You do the balanced-set calculation that finds the limiting size. You price an exposure-buffer decision against a measured pick-fail rate. You build a node-selection sheet comparing ship-from-store against cancellation per unit. And you correct the allocation input.
