One TikTok video can drive thousands of teens to Five Below stores seeking specific items. Manual EDI processes cannot react fast enough to viral trends, causing stockouts and missed opportunities.
Five Below's $5-and-below model requires precise cost control and compliance. EDI errors that impact pricing, allowances, or terms immediately affect your ability to meet margin requirements.
Trending products cycle in and out quickly. Without automated replenishment and markdown coordination, you're left with obsolete inventory while stores lack the next hot item.
