Merchandise Planning, Assortment Planning, Allocation

Boost inventory performance with precise, flexible top-down, bottom-up and middle-out planning that integrates forecasting, merchandise and assortment planning, allocation and replenishment. Automate and schedule merchandise management, efficiently handle hundreds of thousands of omni-channel combinations, and optimize down to the most granular item/store/day level of detail.

• Merchandise Planning - Creates optimal merchandise financial plans based on past performance and projected future goals by location and across chains.
• Assortment Planning - Identifies the optimal merchandise mix to satisfy customers, maximize profits and minimize markdowns across your retail network including multiple store types and open to buy management.

Logility Merchandise Planning & Allocation converts high-level financial goals into chain and store-level plans for both financial and unit profiles to maximize sales potential while minimizing markdowns and out-of-stocks. It then closes the gap between financial planning, store planning and the buyer to accurately identify the optimal merchandise mix.

• Create inspiration boards that influence time-phased merchandise collections
• Review channel, cluster and store specific assortment plans that can be actioned into purchase orders and store allocations
