Abstract

Effective inventory management is crucial in the fast-paced fashion retail industry, particularly for dynamic product categories like men’s T-shirts. This research proposes a full-stack AI-driven inventory optimization framework that integrates advanced forecasting models, real-time dashboards, and automated reporting workflows. The system utilizes an XGBoost regressor for accurate demand forecasting, a FastAPI backend for predictive API services, and an Angular 19 frontend for real-time visualization. Additionally, APScheduler is employed for automated email dispatches containing inventory reports and restocking alerts. Implementation on simulated datasets yielded a forecasting accuracy of 92.3%, with a 27% reduction in unsold inventory and significantly improved restocking decisions. These results highlight the system’s potential for enhancing operational efficiency, minimizing both overstocking and understocking scenarios.
