Insights
Answear.com selected Oracle Retail cloud and AI to centralize merchandise financial planning across 12 markets and scale international operations.
As a fashion e-commerce retailer operating in 12 European markets with over 200,000 products and partnerships with more than 700 brands, Answear.com will use Oracle Retail Merchandise Financial Planning and Oracle Retail AI Foundation to automate planning, better account for seasonality and old stock, and incorporate e-commerce signals such as customer traffic.
The project was implemented by partner Spyrosoft, and the announcement frames expected benefits as improved planning precision and lower markdowns through tighter inventory alignment with demand. The claims are operational: they describe tools and intended outcomes rather than quantified results, so measurable impact depends on execution and how quickly the retailer converts signals into rebalancing actions.
Watch for concrete changes in three areas: markdown frequency and depth, end-of-season inventory levels, and forecast accuracy for assortment and channel-specific demand; these are the explicit metrics tied to the platform's stated goals. The announcement itself is a clear operational upgrade and therefore a positive commercial development for the vendor and a capability improvement for the retailer, but it contains no performance figures or timelines to validate outcomes.

The implementation was led by Oracle Retail partner Spyrosoft.
