Why fill rate matters
in fashion retail.
Fashion fill rate must be measured at the style-size-color level. A store can hold 200 units of a dress and zero in the most popular size — technically "in stock," functionally a stockout. Ward surfaces broken assortments where key sizes are missing from otherwise healthy inventory positions.
Broken size run detection, peak season
Ward reveals that a significant share of top styles have broken size runs across the chain — popular sizes depleted while other sizes sit. Ward recommends urgent inter-store transfers for the highest-revenue styles and a size curve recalibration for the next allocation cycle. Operations executes within 48 hours to protect at-risk revenue.
What a Ward card looks like.
Estate fill rate at 94.2%, up 1.2pp vs last week. Stores 22 and 37 dropped below 85% threshold. Fresh produce is the driver.

More Fashion insight cards.
Insights surface
Ward’s agents detect what changed, why it matters, and what to do about it. Every insight includes a recommended action—not just a chart to interpret.
Insights become actions
Any insight card can be turned into a tracked ticket or task. Dispatched to the right person, on the right channel—mobile push, text, or email. Not every insight needs a ticket. But when one does, it has an owner.
Your team responds
Insights get voted up or down with reasoning. Tickets get completed or rejected. Every response is a signal—Ward learns what worked, what missed, and why.
Outcomes measured
Ward evaluates real results: revenue, margin, fill rate, labor cost. Did the action actually improve the number it targeted? Measured outcomes, not assumptions.
Agents get sharper
Every vote, every completed ticket, every measured outcome feeds back in. Ward learns from your team’s judgment and real-world results. Each cycle sharpens the next. Then it starts again.
