The motive of this article is to elaborate on some major safety concerns and propose strategies for implementing them effectively.
Forecasting the demand for new fashion products in the fast fashion industry is a complex task. Due to its dynamic nature, short product life cycles, and limited historical data, traditional forecasting models often fail. This leads to inefficiencies such as overproduction or underproduction.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) software is critical for modern businesses, powering everything from procurement and logistics to inventory and warehouse management. While these solutions are often robust and feature-rich, their true value depends heavily on how easily users can interact with them.

Today, optimising user experience in SCM software has become a strategic priority for businesses across industries.
