Merchandise and demand planning from store to channel to plan.
Plan at the grain retail demands. Build merchandise and demand plans by SKU, store, and channel, and connect them to margin and the financial plan.
The challenge
What gets in the way today
The patterns we hear most from teams running this plan in spreadsheets or legacy tools.
- Store- and SKU-level detail too large for spreadsheets
- Merchandise plans disconnected from the financial plan
- Promo and seasonality assumptions hard to test safely
- Slow consolidation across regions and channels
