H&M, which ranks number three on Gartner's Supply Chain Top 15, is the world's second-largest clothing retailer. This is certainly no easy feat for a company that has 950 stores in 19 countries, AND raked in a whopping turnover of 14.6 billion Euros in 2013. With such staggering figures, one can only wonder how the retail giant manages to successfully stay afloat and ensure adequate stock control for its fleet of stores.
