Edited's CASE STUDY

Introduction: Catalysts of Change in the Apparel Industry

Edited is not just another data analytics company; we’re a transformational force within the apparel retail industry. We have taken a visionary approach to facilitate data-driven decision-making for apparel brands and retailers, and in doing so, we have rewritten the rules of the game. Since our inception in 2009, we have dedicated ourselves to turning complex retail data into actionable insights. Our headquarter in London, along with offices in New York and Melbourne, stands as a testament to our global reach and commitment to the industry.

The Foundation of Excellence: Our Unique Value Proposition

We understood that the apparel market needed more than just traditional market analysis tools; it needed an intelligent, real-time data analytics platform tailored specifically for the sector. Accordingly, our proprietary data analytics platform was designed from the ground up, leveraging advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to offer predictive analytics, trend analysis, and competitive benchmarking.
We believe that timely and accurate market data can empower our users—buyers, merchandisers, and traders—to adapt swiftly to ever-changing consumer demands and market trends. What makes Edited special is our seamless system integration; we don’t just provide data, but ensure it is seamlessly actionable within our clients' existing frameworks. This integration has been transformative for our clients, enabling more informed decisions, optimized inventories, and enhanced sales.

A Glimpse into Our Analytics Engine

Our platform aggregates and analyzes a vast array of data points. For instance, through our AI-powered trend forecasting, retailers can anticipate market movements and adjust their strategies in advance. According to a study in 2022 by McKinsey & Company, companies that leverage big data analytics see an average of a 6 percent increase in profits (McKinsey, 2022).
One of our standout features is real-time competitor price tracking. By continuously monitoring competitor pricing, retailers can make strategic adjustments to help them remain competitive. This feature alone has been a game-changer, allowing countless brands to stay ahead in the pricing game by reacting almost instantaneously to market shifts.

The Power of a Subscription-Based Model

Our revenue model is predominantly subscription-based, which provides us with a steady and predictable income stream. Clients can choose from different tiers, with higher-tier subscriptions offering more comprehensive data and advanced analytics capabilities. Subscription fees ensure that we can continuously innovate and enhance our platform, keeping it at the cutting edge of technology.
Additionally, we offer bespoke consulting services and custom analytics solutions for clients needing deeper insights. The tiered nature of our subscriptions means clients receive exactly what they need—no more, no less—and this customization has won us rave reviews across the industry.

Case Example: Transforming Brand X’s Inventory Management

One of our most compelling case studies involves Brand X, a mid-sized apparel retailer struggling with inventory issues. Before implementing our platform, Brand X faced frequent stockouts and overstock situations, which impacted their bottom line negatively.
When Brand X integrated our platform, the transformation was immediate. Utilizing our predictive analytics and trend forecasting tools, they optimized their inventory levels to align with anticipated consumer demands. The results were astonishing: within six months, Brand X reduced stockouts by 30 percent and decreased overstock situations by 20 percent. This optimization translated to a 15 percent increase in overall revenue.

Market Leadership and Future Directions

Our market leadership is underscored by our deep understanding of the apparel sector and our relentless focus on innovation. As Harvard Business School's Michael Porter often emphasizes, "strategic positioning means performing different activities from rivals or performing similar activities in different ways" (Porter, 1996). At Edited, we have differentiated ourselves not only through advanced technology but also through our exceptional ability to make complex data intricately useful for apparel professionals.
Looking forward, we intend to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in retail technology. We are exploring more robust AI algorithms, further integration with e-commerce platforms, and expanding our consulting services. With a steadily growing client base and rave reviews, we are poised to lead the retail technology sector for years to come.
