Leveraging autone's rebalancing module: the smartest decision Benoa made for its stores.
)
80%
time savings on stock rebalancing — what used to take up to a full day now takes just 1–2 hours per week.
Improved decision-making and team efficiency
Store and HQ teams now work from a single source of truth.
Reduced deadstock and overstock
Smarter buying and daily replenishment cut unsold inventory and improved cash flow.
Increased stock availability
Real-time insights led to fewer stockouts and more consistent product access across boutiques.
Behind Benoa’s effortless style lay a complex inventory challenge: intense seasonality leading to short product lifecycles and small margins for inventory management error.
Before autone, stock decisions were manual and time-consuming - leading to overstocks, stockouts, and mounting pressure on a lean team.
With autone, Benoa transformed how they manage inventory. Rebalancing now takes a fraction of the time. Deadstock is down. Availability is up. And the team finally has the clarity and control to focus on what matters most: creating great collections and continuing to reinvent themselves for their customers.

Why autone?
autone’s intuitive UX and personalized support stood out to Benoa. The tool replaced cumbersome, error-prone manual methods with easy to scale, automated AI-driven processes, enabling Benoa to rebalance faster and more accurately.
But it wasn’t just the tool that delivered, the people behind it delivered too. Through genuine partnership autone has supported Benoa’s shift from reactive inventory firefighting to proactive retail planning.
“It was fluid, logical, intuitive. Especially for us, who aren’t exactly digital natives… It just worked. Super easy. Anytime we have a question or a hiccup, the team at autone finds a fix and tests it. That’s what a true partnership looks like.”
— Juliette, Chief Commercial Officer at Benoa

Smarter rebalancing in a unique multi-store environment.
The challenge.
Benoa operates five island-based boutiques plus a web store, all fed by one central warehouse.
Each unique store trades at its own rhythm, with wildly different footfall, storage limits, and product preferences. The team was moving stock manually, constantly reacting to sell-through patterns that were hard to track in real time. Before autone, just trying to keep inventory aligned took up to a full day each week.
“Before autone, I was buried in 10,000 Excel sheets. And the same for the store teams.”
-Virginie, Co-Founder at Benoa
The solution.
With autone, Benoa could move to an intelligent, just-in-time rebalancing process.
With just a few clicks, the team could see what was selling where, and shift products before they became deadweight. And, instead of flooding each boutique with the full collection up front, Benoa started sending only what was needed, when it was needed.
Cutting rebalancing times from 1 day to 2 hours, the process transformed from logistical headache to intuitive value driver.
“We used to spend half a day or even a full day every week managing rebalancing, now we can do it in 1-2 hours. Using autone has saved us so much time. We used to spend hours agonising over how to split stock… now it’s a few clicks.”
— Virginie, Co-Founder at Benoa
