A Market in Flux

The fashion and luxury industry faces a delicate balancing act. While fast fashion contends with disruptors like Shein and Temu, high-end brands confront a different set of pressures:

reaching new customers whose spending power and emotional connection align with the brand, and managing surplus inventory to avoid value erosion.  The real challenge is not just selling more—but finding the right customers whose spending power and emotional connection match the brand’s values. Amid shifting consumer desires, economic unpredictability, and tightening sustainability regulations, brands must evolve—sensing and fulfilling emerging demand while preserving their unique identity. 

This is where Orbitae – AI by SDG Group makes the difference.

Why Fashion Needs AI Now More Than Ever

But behind the scenes, it's also about logistics, precision, and data. AI bridges these two worlds, turning complexity into opportunity. Here’s how:

With advanced segmentation, smart assortment optimization, and predictive modeling, fashion houses can increase engagement, loyalty, and conversion rates—online and in-store.

2. Smarter Inventory and Demand Forecasting

From overstock to stockouts, inventory remains one of fashion’s most expensive problems. AI-powered in-season planning, forecasting, and leftover estimation allow brands to strike the perfect balance—reducing waste, protecting margins, and complying with tightening sustainability standards.
