We believe the ability to effectively plan and manage your merchandise is more critical than ever. It is no longer sufficient to provide a high-level number as guidance. The planning function is an integral part of buying, managing, and optimizing the flow of product through the supply chain to the end fulfillment point. We can help you establish the proper foundation, organizational structure, processes, and systems to position your business for success.
We have extensive experience helping clients improve sales, margin, and inventory turns through improved assortment and item planning capabilities. We consider differences and nuances in planning approaches and processes to ensure alignment with local market and customer segment intelligence. As such, we help our clients determine appropriate roadmaps for development and evolution of planning capabilities. With deep, hands-on experience with most leading planning solutions, including Oracle, SAS, Blue Yonder, Infor, Aptos, MI9, and Logility, we facilitate the evaluation to help you determine a system that fits your business requirements. Further, we support planning organizations during new role, process, and system deployments through our change management and solution implementation services.
We have deep expertise across a broad array of clients in creating and implementing strategic pricing capabilities. We focus on essential capabilities such as regular price optimization, markdown management, and promotions management.
