Riikka Söderlund, Chief Operating Officer, Katana Cloud Inventory, says: Riikka Söderlund, COO at Katana Cloud Inventory, argues that inventory strategy is a core customer experience issue rather than a back-office problem. She explains how multichannel complexity and legacy ERPs break fulfillment, why clean cloud-based data is required before AI can add value, and urges brands to prepare infrastructure now to enable AI-driven replenishment, forecasting, and better post-purchase experiences while defending brand relevance as supply chains automate.
