Tailored Brands dresses up its tuxedo rental business with AI-driven inventory optimization from invent.ai

PHILADELPHIA — April 4, 2025 — Invent.ai, a global leader in retail inventory optimization solutions, has released a new case study highlighting how Tailored Brands optimized its tuxedo rental business with AI-powered inventory management. As a leading menswear and formalwear retailer with over 1,000 stores, including Men’s Wearhouse, Jos. A. Bank, Moores and K&G Fashion Superstore, Tailored Brands needed an advanced solution to streamline the complexity of managing inventory across its rental supply chain. Tailored Brands transformed its demand forecasting and inventory planning capabilities with invent.ai in just 90 days, resulting in improved on-shelf availability, reduced substitutions and enhanced customer satisfaction. 

Invent.ai highlights Tailored Brands’ success story in its new case study, “How Tailored Brands anticipates demand and increases revenue with invent.ai in its tuxedo and formal wear rental business.” The story explores how invent.ai’s inventory optimization platform has helped Tailored Brands modernize demand forecasting, automate inventory allocation and streamline distribution center (DC) transfers—ultimately ensuring the right products are readily available for millions of reservations each year.

“Inventory optimization means growing your sales and customer service while lowering inventory investment,” said Scott Vifquain, Chief Technology Officer at Tailored Brands. “It’s doing more with less. Invent.ai’s solution not only helped us grow customer satisfaction and service on a lower inventory base, but also avoided disappointing the customer with substitutions. We saw great results very quickly.”

Key results include:

• 10% reduction in substitution rates: Substitution rates have dropped from 14% to just 4%, ensuring customers receive their preferred rental items
• 15% savings in inventory investment: Optimized stock levels have reduced overall inventory spend
• Enhanced customer satisfaction: Fewer substitutions and improved inventory availability have boosted customer engagement and sales

“The team at Tailored Brands consistently seeks innovative ways to harness AI to unlock greater value through our platform,” said Gurhan Kok, Founder & CEO, invent.ai. “Our partnership is not only strategic but also deeply collaborative.
