Being Human’s customers were ready to spend. But predicting what they wanted to buy was a different story

Being Human is one of the biggest names in Indian fashion.

Hundreds of thousands of global customers can’t wait to get their hands on the brand’s latest styles.

But, with such a huge market, demand is constantly shifting.

Being Human was holding on to huge volumes of sales data, but was struggling to change it into actionable insights. Manually analyzing sales across hundreds of stores seemed inefficient, almost impossible—which left the brand reacting to demand, instead of anticipating it.

Which left Being Human’s planning team trapped between surplus and shortage. Overstocking products ‘just in case’, or facing stockouts when demand surged suddenly.

To maximize profits, reduce waste, and delight as many customers as possible, Being Human needed a way to:
