The Challenge of Craft Retail EDI Complexity

Seasonal Peaks and DIY Trends Create Volatility

Arrow circling a gear, representing continuous improvement and optimization

Extreme Seasonal Swings

Craft retail experiences massive spikes during back-to-school, Halloween, and holiday seasons. Manual EDI cannot scale to handle 400% order increases, causing stockouts during critical crafting periods.

Pinterest-Driven Demand

One viral DIY project can empty stores of specific supplies overnight. Without real-time automation, you miss trending opportunities and disappoint creative customers seeking project materials.
