Tilly’s, Inc. (NYSE: TLYS), a leading specialty retailer of casual apparel, footwear, and accessories, has announced a strategic partnership with Impact Analytics® to enhance its inventory management and business insights across its store and distribution networks. The retailer will integrate two AI-driven tools from Impact Analytics: InventorySmart® and MondaySmart®, designed to optimize allocation, replenishment, and comprehensive reporting.

According to Erik Quade, Chief Information Officer of Tilly’s, the decision to partner with Impact Analytics was driven by the company's deep experience in fashion retail and its leadership in Agentic AI solutions. "We conducted a comprehensive review of marketplace providers, and Impact Analytics was the clear choice given their expertise and innovative solutions," Quade said.

InventorySmart® will focus on enhancing inventory productivity, improving in-stock rates, and reducing excess inventory by ensuring the right product is in the right place at the right time. MondaySmart® will enable real-time, AI-driven business insights, simplifying data access across sources and accelerating decision-making for leadership teams.
