How Nobodinoz saved 35% on its stock while quadrupling its business.

What started as a concept store has become one of the benchmark brands in children's fashion over 15 years, with annual double-digit growth. Praised for their design, manufacturing quality, and affordable prices, Nobodinoz collections are now distributed worldwide through the online shop and a network of premium retailers like BHV and Smallable.

The consequence of this success story is that stock management has proven complex, accumulating several particularities:

• The stock consists of over 20,000 references combining the materials used in the manufacturing of finished products as well as the collections;

• The stock is divided between the production workshops and the central warehouse (finished products);

• The brand supervises the entire manufacturing process from the design office, with a “key” person dedicated to stock management;

• A fine management of the stock is crucial in a sector – fashion – where shortages and overstock are common;
  until 2017, stock management was handled by a traditional ERP and overseen by the warehouse manager, considered a true Super Heroine.

At this stage, Nobobinoz is experiencing significant growth and the executives are considering strengthening the logistics team. When they contacted BEVOLTA in 2017, they hoped to find a solution to facilitate the management and planning of stocks. They were unaware that BEVOLTA would provide them with an absolutely considerable gain.

The BEVOLTA team initially analyzed the dual industrial and commercial issues of NOBODINOZ to integrate personalized KPIs into its solution, for example, for sales tracking.

A second phase of simulation allowed for testing the BEVOLTA tool based on last year’s data. The result: a substantial anticipated saving on stocks, with availability across all references while avoiding shortages and overstock.

One year after the installation of the BEVOLTA solution, the findings are striking:

By following the real-time reporting provided by BEVOLTA, NOBODINOZ achieved a 35% saving on stock value in year 1 while increasing the availability of its stock. The company, which thought it would need to hire to strengthen its logistics team, ultimately did not have to do so. The same observation holds 4 years later, even though its activity has quadrupled.
