Full Coverage
Target has unveiled a new technology play as it continues to work to improve inventory levels in stores.
The retailer’s supply chain, product and engineering teams developed Proxima, an in-house digital twin of its inventory positioning system that handles getting products from regional distribution centers to stores, the company said Thursday in a post on its website.
Proxima uses the same data and logic as Target’s live inventory platform to test how decisions could play out before applying them in practice, the company said. Target said this helps teams improve product availability for guests, reduce potential disruptions across the supply chain and test and modernize complex supply chain processes with more certainty.
