Here are the most common challenges apparel retailers face during Black Friday and how our tailored fashion solution, powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can help you navigate them.

Black Friday is one of the most critical sales events for apparel retailers, bringing a massive surge in traffic, orders, and customer expectations. While it’s a huge opportunity to boost sales and clear inventory, it also comes with some serious challenges: from stock management and order fulfilment to website performance and next-day delivery demands. Is your business fully prepared?

 
1. Stock Level Forecasting: Avoid Overselling & Stockouts

During Black Friday, striking the right balance between having enough stock to meet demand and avoiding excess inventory is essential. Overselling can lead to dissatisfied customers and canceled orders, while overstocking ties up capital in unsold goods.

Our advanced forecasting tools use historical sales data, seasonal trends, and real-time insights to predict demand more accurately. You’ll have better control over stock levels, reducing the risk of running out of popular items or getting stuck with unsold inventory. Plus, with real-time inventory management, you’ll always know exactly what’s available across your entire supply chain, ensuring you can meet customer demand without overselling.

 
2. Managing Surge in Orders: Efficient and Accurate Fulfilment

As sales spike, the pressure to fulfil orders efficiently and accurately intensifies. Late deliveries or missed shipments can damage your reputation, especially when next-day delivery is expected by many Black Friday shoppers.

Our fashion solution enables real-time order tracking and integrates with your logistics providers, helping you fulfil orders faster and more accurately. Automated workflows streamline your processes from order capture to packing and dispatch, ensuring you meet delivery promises, even during peak periods. With real-time visibility, you can prioritise orders for faster shipping methods, helping you keep your next-day delivery promises.

 
3. Site Stability & Performance: Handle High Traffic with Ease

Website crashes or slow performance on Black Friday can be catastrophic. Imagine the lost sales and frustrated customers if your website can’t handle the surge in traffic. Ensuring your e-commerce platform is stable and responsive is crucial to your success.

With our cloud-based infrastructure powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can rest easy knowing your website is equipped to handle high volumes of traffic without crashing. Our fashion solution is built for scalability, meaning your system can expand and adapt in real-time as traffic spikes. You’ll have the performance needed to keep your website fast, responsive, and stable, even during the busiest shopping hours.

 
4. Optimised Next-Day Delivery: Keep Customers Happy

Today’s customers expect fast and reliable delivery, especially during events like Black Friday. Offering next-day delivery can set you apart from competitors, but only if you can deliver on that promise consistently.

With our integrated supply chain and order management tools, you can offer next-day delivery with confidence. Real-time visibility into stock levels, automated shipping workflows, and integrations with logistics partners ensure that your orders are processed, packed, and dispatched as quickly as possible. This not only meets customer expectations but also enhances their shopping experience, boosting loyalty and repeat business.

 
5. Data-Driven Insights: Post-Black Friday Planning

What comes after Black Friday is just as important. Evaluating your sales performance and customer behaviour helps you plan for the rest of the holiday season and beyond.

With comprehensive reporting tools and analytics, you’ll gain insights into what sold well, which items ran out quickly, and where improvements can be made. Our solution gives you real-time reports that help you optimise stock levels, fine-tune marketing efforts, and enhance customer experiences for future events.
