Merchandise planning lines up sales, inventory, and buying goals. It shows what to buy, when to buy, and how much, then turns that plan into buying actions that fit your products and season.
Merchandise PlanningWhat is open-to-buy?
Open-to-buy plans are built by class and location. They help you keep the right stock in each category, buy with data, and cut down on overstock and stockouts.

Sales forecasting predicts demand so you can time inventory and place it where it is needed. The goal is clearer buying decisions and less risk from guessing.

Cash flow planning looks ahead at expenses and sets sales targets you can manage against. It gives a clearer view of where the money is, so buying does not add debt you cannot carry.
