How AEO Unlocked Operational Efficiency & Exponential Growth
In today’s fast-paced retail industry, staying ahead of the competition requires efficient operations and the ability to adapt quickly to changing consumer demands. American Eagle Outfitters (AEO), a leading global apparel retailer, recognized the need to streamline its complex supply chain to drive growth at scale.

 

AEO, known for its high-quality, on-trend clothing and accessories under the American Eagle & Aerie brands, faced a significant challenge. With over 1,000 stores worldwide and a strong online presence, AEO needed to manage a complex global supply chain, from design to production, while ensuring products reached the market quickly across various channels. However, the lack of collaboration and visibility within their supply chain was impeding their expansion and ability to meet consumer demand.

 

In the past, AEO relied on disparate systems to manage its supply chain, leading to limited collaboration, longer development cycles, and a lack of visibility throughout the process. To overcome these challenges and support its growth plans, AEO sought a solution that could unify internal and external collaboration, improve speed to market, and facilitate better product development decisions aligned with market trends and consumer preferences.
