Increff

Increff was founded in 2016 in Bengaluru, India and raised over $10M to build an inventory management and merchandising intelligence platform for fashion, apparel, and lifestyle brands and retailers operating across online and offline channels. The company was founded by former Amazon and McKinsey executives who saw an opportunity to bring data-driven inventory optimization to a market — branded retail in South and Southeast Asia — where most companies still managed inventory through manual processes and gut-feel assortment decisions.\n\nThe Increff platform covers assortment planning, inventory allocation, replenishment optimization, and multi-channel inventory management, with analytics that help merchandising teams understand sell-through rates, size curve performance, and inventory efficiency across their store network and e-commerce channels. The platform's algorithms help brands reduce both excess inventory — a major profitability drain in fashion retail — and stockouts that result in lost sales and markdown pressure.\n\nIncreFF serves fashion, apparel, and lifestyle brands and retailers with significant operations in India and Southeast Asia, and has been expanding its presence in the Middle East and other emerging markets. The company competes against larger WMS and planning vendors like Blue Yonder, as well as regional competitors and in-house solutions, differentiating through its deep fashion industry specialization, cost-effectiveness for mid-sized brands, and focus on markets where most enterprise vendors have thin support and implementation capacity.
