The company tracked this data through the IC tags attached with apparel. For such an artificial intelligence-enabled platform, the company started the partnership with Google and other tech providers.

Inditex manufactures its clothing in Spain. It helps companies to send the apparel easily to everyone around the world with air cargo. Zara clothing finishes within a limited span of time due to good demand. It also sells clothing without any discounts. These two factors play a key role in Inditex’s profit surge.

Credit Suisse Securities (Japan) analyst Takahiro Kazahaya believes that Fast Retailing will bring more business due to the shopping increase in the Asian market. Fast Retailing revenue will surge in the long term.
