“This award reflects the speed, scale and strategic value that AI can bring to retail planning,” said Gurhan Kok, Founder and CEO of invent.ai. “We’re proud to help brands like Alo Yoga break free from outmoded tools and step into a new era of intelligent, real-time decision-making fueled by predictive analytics and automation.”
Alo Yoga launches new styles every two weeks, putting intense pressure on inventory operations.

The brand needed a faster, more adaptive way to plan at scale.
With invent.ai, the Alo Yoga teams were fully equipped with a tailored, AI-powered solution in just six weeks—drastically improving forecasting accuracy, process optimization and planning agility while freeing teams from time-consuming manual workflows.
