Planning and Merchandising

Buying the stock that customers want and ensuring it is available when they want to buy it, has always been the the cornerstone of retailing. With the emergence of multiple channels to market and the complexity of modern retailing this has become infinitely more challenging, but for those that can get it right the potential rewards are huge.

You may plan hundreds or thousands of products, most of which contain many options and all are bound for multiple sales channels. The Junction Solutions planning modules allow rapid creation of detailed plans, giving managers time to focus on analysis and decision-making that will maximise profit. Once plans are created, they are automatically updated and maintained with information from many other parts of the business, such as commitment, stock and sales trends.

Merchandise plans can be automatically built based on proportions and statistics, spreading budgets and values down the defined product and location hierarchies and across time. The integrated merchandise planning capabilities including sales budgeting, forecasting and demand management, assortment planning, open to buy, stock optimisation and replenishment planning.
