Vera Bradley Back-In-Stock Feature
Implemented in May, 2021
Our objective as the digital team was to 1) create a back-in-stock notification feature for users who wanted to purchase out-of-stock products, thus preventing a dead-end and 2) gain revenue that was being lost due to the global supply chain disruptions.

Problem
Businesses across the world experienced supply chain disruptions in mid-2021. Due to the global supply chain disruptions, our online products were going out of stock quickly and we were losing potential sales.
