Amidst the pandemic, various supply chain challenges left many retailers, including Hibbett, dealing with frequent out-of-stock situations. Hibbett, a leading athletic-inspired fashion retailer, operates in the eCommerce sphere with an extensive network of over 1,100 physical stores across 36 states in the U.S. Given their significant sales in footwear, the unavailability of specific sizes posed notable challenges. As inventory isn't frequently replenishable, once items sell out, new merchandise cycles are introduced. These conditions prompted Hibbett to seek a solution that could maintain customer retention and ensure that shoppers left satisfied, even when faced with out-of-stock scenarios.
