Following a successful 15-store pilot, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (A&F Co.) began deploying Nedap's iD Cloud Store solution in June 2025, with full implementation scheduled to be completed later this month. The rollout underscores A&F Co.'s strategic priority to improve omnichannel fulfillment, inventory accuracy and on-shelf product availability.

"Inventory visibility is crucial to serving our customers seamlessly, both digitally and in-store," said Lauren Morr, Senior Vice President of Digital Operations at Abercrombie & Fitch Co. "We chose Nedap not only for their innovative and advanced technology, but also because of the dedicated expertise within their iD Cloud community.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co.'s deployment of iD Cloud Store streamlines essential store processes, including in-store order fulfillment and inventory replenishment from the back-of-house to the front-of-house, enhancing overall productivity. By successfully scaling the software in such a short timeframe, this new strategy will advance omnichannel performance and position Abercrombie & Fitch Co. for long-term success with increased inventory visibility.
