Turn Data Into Profit With Expert Inventory Planning

Our Approach

About Our Inventory Planning Services

The road to better financial performance starts when we collect your POS data to create a tailored sales and inventory plan by class, with forecasts for the upcoming seasons.

Our inventory plans are highly accurate. They rely on custom algorithms derived from over 30 years of planning in the apparel sector. What’s more, our plans are built to fit each client’s specific needs, and preferences. Our goal is to present you with information that is easy to understand, and actionable.

We require no contract, but clients tend to stay with us for years, seeing a 10 to 1 return on their investment in the first year, and a 5 to 1 return even after their business is optimized.

Our Expertise

More Than Just Merchandising

Your inventory is probably your biggest investment, so we manage it that way. We see your sales goals as an essential part of your overall financial health. With the right management, our merchants are able to grow, even during dips in the natural sales curves.

And during times of acute challenges, as we face now in the Covid-19 environment, this kind of disciplined inventory and financial planning has proven to be the lifeboat that has kept our stores afloat, and ready to take advantage of the next economic swell.

What our clients say...
