Evolving from a single small boutique in 2005, Amara has become an award-winning business for its customer care with a fast-paced online growth.
Amara has a very successful working relationship with the team at LOKAD. I was able to fully bespoke the tool to meet our particular operational needs back in 2018. I have been impressed with how receptive they have been to to change and improve order recommendations over the last 2 years. In such a volatile retail landscape it is so important to be able to learn and adjust the predictions to fully optimise stock levels. Previous software companies I have worked with would charge for every change request which resulted in the changes either not being implemented or taking months to go live.

Hylte Jakt & Lantman is a Swedish company specializing since 1911 in the distribution of outdoor equipment and accessories, with more than 6 000 products for hunting, gardening and forest workmanship. They have successfully adapted to the challenges of the e-commerce with considerable impact on their growth.
Our business has gone through a transition over the past couple of years - from being a traditional retailer with physical store as our primary channel of sales to being successful within e-commerce. Still, our focus is being close to our customers and giving them the best shopping experience possible, regardless if they decide to visit us by the physical store or the website - although now 70% of our turnover and all the growth is through e-commerce. With increased volumes and by having better data control and larger data sets, I started to think about a purchase suggestion system to enhance/automate our purchase flows. First, I bought some literature to build it myself and when googling for Matlab functions on supply chain optimization - that's where I found Lokad. I had a call with Lokad and discussed the service they were offering - I explained what I was planning to build myself but realized that these guys made exactly what I was looking for - but way better! Now we have implemented the service into our business and use it on a daily basis to optimize and make purchase decisions. What I like about Lokad is that everyone can use it - you do not need to be a mathematician to get use of the system, although there is plenty of beautiful mathematics doing the hard work - then presenting the relevant information to the purchase managers to make solid decisions. In our organization, Lokad is not replacing the purchase managers, but it enhances the capacity and provides most valuable insights to make their work efficient and accurate.
