Dataviva in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide for Retail Forecasting, Allocation and Replenishment, Short Life Cycle

Dataviva named in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide for Retail Forecasting, Allocation and Replenishment Solutions: Short Life Cycle Products

Atlanta – Dataviva, a next-generation Retail Planning Platform, has been named as a vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Retail Forecasting, Allocation and Replenishment Solutions: Short Life Cycle Products, published on 16 March 2026.

Short-life-cycle retail leaves little room for error. New styles arrive with no sales history, first allocation has to be right, and stock has to follow demand across stores within weeks.

In our view, Dataviva Demand Forecasting and Dataviva Supply Chain Planning (listed in the report as “Dataviva Supply Chain”) are built for that. They forecast new items from day one using similar items and locations, build size curves, set the first allocation, and replenish and rebalance stock in season as real demand comes in.
