To avoid product shortages, big retailers are scrapping reactive methods for AI
Retailers like Target and Walmart use AI to prevent stockouts and manage inventory. AI systems can predict demand to help improve inventory accuracy and availability. This article is part of "How AI Is Changing Everything: Supply Chain," a series on innovations in logistics. The adage "too much, too little, just right" isn't just for Goldilocks and her porridge. Balance is also critical in inventory management, the part of the supply chain responsible for analyzing what consumers will buy and making sure products are in stock at the right place and the right time. Excess inventory can lead to markdowns or expired goods, but too little product can lead to shortages that impact a retailer's brand image, customer satisfaction, and bottom line. To prevent inventory from running out, big-box retailers such as Target, The Home Depot, and Walmart are using AI to predict when product amounts could dwindle. As a result, Target's inventory availability has improved every year for the last four years, Prat Vemana, the executive vice president and chief information and product officer at Target, told Business Insider. AI can help retailers proactively adjust stock before disruption strikes rather than reacting to changing conditions, said Ajoy Krishnamoorthy, the CEO of inventory-management platform Cin7. That's especially critical today, Krishnamoorthy added, when factors like consumer behavior, inflation, and trade policy constantly impact supply chains. "AI thrives in this environment," Krishnamoorthy said. Traditionally, companies procure inventory, manage logistics, and analyze consumer behavior in silos, said Vidya Mani, an associate professor of business administration focused on technology and operations management at the University of Virginia. Teams do individual research, then come together to develop a strategy and execute it. "We no longer have that time," Mani said. "By the time you finish doing it, the world will have changed on you." Before Target started using AI to predict stockouts, the retailer relied on software-based applications, which didn't react or adapt to real-world changes as quickly as AI systems, according to Vemana. In fact, Target said in a blog post that it previously failed to catch half of its products that were out of stock because the technology they used thought that inventory existed when it actually didn't. Target changed how it managed inventory in 2023 with the introduction of Inventory Ledger, an internal tech system that tracks inventory changes across stores and uses AI to predict when products might be out of stock "even before it's obvious to team members or systems," Vemana said. Today, Target uses AI-driven inventory management for more than 40% of its product assortment, which is more than double when it started two years ago, Vemana said. With Inventory Ledger, algorithms pull in data like supply lead times, transportation costs, current inventory, and consumer demand. Some models are more accurate for frequently purchased categories, and others are better suited to discretionary purchases or clearance items, so Target uses both kinds. There are also models that detect items that are in the store but in the wrong aisle or shelf, Vemana said. Target has a demand forecasting tool that "makes billions of predictions each week about how many units of each item we'll need in stores and online," Vemana said. Together, all of these technologies guide employees' decisions about when, where, and how to reorder products and replenish stock. "Combining traditional software with AI helps us make smarter, faster decisions about inventory management and keep our stores stocked more consistently," Vemana said. One of Cin7's customers, ABC School Supplies, is also using AI to access real-time sales data, potential stock shortages, and supplier lead times, so it can "reorder proactively and avoid costly gaps in supply," Krishnamoorthy said. The AI-driven inventory management marks a big change from what ABC School Supplies did in the past. It used to copy and paste website orders into its system, make a pick-and-pack list on paper, walk that physical list over to the warehouse, and manually update inventory, Krishnamoorthy said The Home Depot is also taking an AI-based approach to inventory. In 2023, the retailer rolled out a machine-learning-powered app called Sidekick, which guides store workers to restock shelves and find products on overhead shelves, among other features. "It helps make sure products are on shelves for our customers, and it manages our on-hand accuracy, which feeds to our replenishment and selling platforms," a spokesperson for The Home Depot said. Krishnamoorthy said that in retail, "AI is exploding" as businesses move away from static planning to dynamic forecasts that anticipate demand and prevent stockouts. AI allows businesses to get more granular with their inventory data, avoiding stockouts at particular store locations or during peak times. Mani gave the example of cosmetics and how different stores will have varying product needs based on consumer demographics. "AI can figure out those patterns of baskets that are bought frequently in these different clusters," Mani said. "You don't need to feed it that contextual information." Target is also working on technology that predicts which colors and sizes of seasonal items will sell, so it can stock those items in specific stores "to meet local demand," Vemana said. At Walmart, AI-based inventory management systems use algorithms to make sure stores in warmer states have the right amount of pool toys and colder states stock enough sweaters, according to a press release on the company's website. If a particular item isn't selling on the East Coast but it's flying off shelves in the Midwest, algorithms flag that pattern so Walmart can reposition its inventory. As retailers continue to develop and deploy AI tools, Mani predicts the technology's use cases will advance over the next decade. Mani said that in two to three years, AI will likely flag stockouts without a person needing to walk into a store to confirm. Five years out, AI could automatically reorder inventory when algorithms detect that stock is running low. And in 10 years, AI would understand how macroeconomic events (like inflation) will change future consumer purchase behavior patterns and adjust inventory plans accordingly. "It will feed it into your rulemaking rather than reacting to the situation," Mani said. "You'll be living in a different world."

Target and Walmart Cancel Switch 2 Orders but Hope People Mob Stores on June 5
The Switch 2 is due in two days. If you were one of the few lucky enough to preorder Nintendo's new handheld console over a month ago, and you haven't been checking in on your order, you better do so now. Multiple Nintendo fans reported receiving cancellation notices from big box stores Target and Walmart. The companies' communications with customers suggest the quashed preorders could be down to lack of available units or system errors. Preorders were already a mess back in April, but those who suffered through broken websites and busted wait queues found their orders cancelled barely a week before launch. Some accounts that claimed they preordered their Switch 2 online suggest both Target and Walmart have nixed their preorder with little explanation. One Redditor on the r/Switch subreddit included screenshots showing the retailer cancelled their order on May 27. Other users on the same subreddit claimed Target may not be able to ship units until June 10, five days after launch. More expectant Switch 2 customers on the r/Walmart and r/Switch subreddits said the retailer cancelled their preorders as well. One customer on X posted screenshots of their conversations with Walmart support. Walmart's initial email said it canceled the preorder due to 'an issue with your card.' When the user suggested they didn't receive any notice their transaction was declined, Walmart support wrote back, 'The order has been canceled due to a large number of orders.' absolutely insane of @Walmart to cancel my Switch 2 preorder that I preordered the night it went live because of a large number of orders. Meanwhile multiple times sold more on their site, but I guess had to cancel mine that I had planned to receive lol — Rooster (@MechaPaddington) May 31, 2025 Gizmodo reached out to both Target and Walmart for comment about the cancelled preorders, but we did not immediately hear back. Switch 2s have been hard to come by, even though some retailers have reportedly offered more units for sale intermittently over the past few weeks. So far, Best Buy and GameStop have received far fewer complaints online. GameStop went as far as to snipe at other retailers, replying with a curt 'not us' statement in response to reports of last-minute cancellations. The games retailer received at least one clapback from a user who claimed the company nixed their preorder. Some users spotted a 'Customer Reconciliation' Switch 2 unit available on Walmart's website, which may be how the company plans to rectify cancelled orders. One user on the same thread reported getting an email saying the cancelled preorder was down to a 'system error.' Even with this rash of cancellations, Walmart is still suggesting customers will be able to get one either in-store June 5. The company told Gizmodo on Monday that those who placed preorders should receive them by 9 a.m. local time on June 5. Walmart added it would open doors to its west coast U.S. supercenters on June 4 at 9 p.m., 10 p.m. MDT and have consoles available 'while supplies last.' Some locations may have more stock than others. Target similarly shared its plans for release. The company wants hungry Switch 2 buyers to start lining up 'before stores open on June 5' where the first lucky people in line who suffer in the cold morning air will receive a physical or digital ticket, depending on how many units are available. There's a limit of one system per customer. Otherwise, if you want to order the handheld online, you'll need to wait until June 6. Best Buy is planning for its own hectic midnight release. The electronics retailer is trying to incentivize customers to come down by offering them a 'limited-edition commemorative coin' with a bland Switch 2 logo on one side and Best Buy's icon on the other. GameStop locations will be opening their doors at 3 p.m. local time on June 4 for its new launch event, though you'll have to wait until midnight to get your unit. Those looking for a different strat to secure their console on launch day may want to look outside the (big) box (store). Office supply chain Staples told us it will have units in-store 'as early as June 5.' There's a limit of one console per customer, and only specific locations will have consoles available, though the retailer suggested that some locations may not have units on launch day. All this hubbub is enough to suggest you may be better off waiting for more stock. Nintendo has suggested it's going into overdrive to make more units available post-launch.
