LIFA coordinated factories, safety stock and inspections for a UK electronics retailer, reducing peak stock-outs from 11% to 1.2%.

What needed to change?
Three seasonal peaks required precise restocking; the previous program suffered 11% stock-outs during Black Friday and missed margin targets.

We qualified 4 factories with peak-capacity headroom.
We built the seasonal demand plan with safety stock per SKU.
We implemented per-peak inspection and conformity sampling.
We managed EU customs documentation for cross-border fulfillment.
Stock-outs cut to 1.2%; 99.5% on-time across 3 peaks; revenue per peak up 17%; the 2026 program was placed at $6.4M.

What this project shows
Peak planning must connect demand by SKU with real production headroom. Inspection and shipping preparation still need time within the replenishment schedule.
