The Paris-based start-up Alphalyr has taken the top prize at the 2026 ANDAM Innovation Award, scooping up the coveted award for its AI-powered data analytics platform. The platform, launched in 2023, uses artificial intelligence to help the fashion industry optimize its supply chain and make data-driven decisions.
Supply Chain Efficiency
Alphalyr’s AI-powered platform allows fashion brands to track and analyze data from their supply chain, identifying inefficiencies and potential risks. By leveraging machine learning algorithms, Alphalyr’s platform can predict demand fluctuations, optimize inventory levels, and even detect potential issues before they become major problems.
According to Alphalyr’s CEO, Emma Laurent, the platform’s primary goal is to “provide fashion brands with actionable insights that they can use to drive business growth and improve their bottom line.” Alphalyr’s platform is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing enterprise software, making it easy for fashion brands to adopt and start seeing results quickly.
