Levi Strauss makes inventory connection
Levi Strauss & Co. is turning to the Internet of Things (IoT) as a solution to improve inventory visibility.
Levi’s is partnering with Intel to run a proof-of-concept of the new Intel IoT platform at three of the vertical apparel retailer’s stores.

The goal is to make the process of inventory management more effective, maximizing in-stock and on-shelf availability of products.
