Five Below is actively employing advanced technologies and analytics to enhance its inventory management. The company’s focus on improving inventory productivity involves the use of sophisticated processes, technology, and analytics, aiming to boost both sales and profits.

Kenneth Bull, who transitioned from CFO to COO earlier this year, highlighted the development of a new merchandise financial planning system and a replenishment forecasting tool. In a statement to analysts, Bull emphasized the company’s commitment to enhancing inventory forecasting, ordering, replenishment, and flow. This strategy is intended to increase stock availability and turnover, as well as improve overall supply chain visibility.

In response to an analyst’s query about the company’s greatest opportunities in inventory management, Bull pointed to the buying and merchandising operations. He stressed the importance of efficient purchasing, ensuring the timely availability of the right products in the right locations.

Five Below’s approach aligns with strategies employed by other retailers, such as Target, Burlington, and Abercrombie & Fitch, who have benefited from increased supply chain speed. This has enabled them to more effectively respond to product demand.

The company’s office in India plays a crucial role in this strategy. As stated by Anderson, having team members in Asia is expected to expedite product sourcing, enhance quality, and strengthen relationships with key suppliers in the region.

According to Five Below’s 10-K report, the company worked with approximately 1,000 vendors in 2022. Sixty percent of its purchases were from domestic vendors, with no single vendor representing more than 5% of its total spending. This diverse sourcing strategy, combined with its low-cost operating model, supports the retailer’s ability to maintain its $5 price point for products.
