Know what you can spend, where to invest, and when to act—with an OTB built around your business.

Get Started With Us

Built for Retail

We understand how “Open to Buy” connects sales, inventory, purchasing, margins, and cash flow—not just the numbers in a spreadsheet.

Based on Your Business

We build “Open to Buy” around your sales history, inventory position, seasonality, growth goals, and buying strategy rather than using a one-size-fits-all formula.

Helps You Buy With Confidence

We help determine how much you can spend, when to spend it, and where to invest, so you can capture opportunities without overcommitting cash.

Connected to Merchandise Planning

Your “Open to Buy” works alongside your sales forecast, merchandise plan, inventory strategy, and purchasing decisions, creating a more complete view of your business.

Flexible & Practical

Retail changes quickly. We help adjust your “Open to Buy” as sales, inventory, and business priorities change.

We Don’t Just Build It—We Explain It

We work directly with clients to understand their needs, explain the numbers, and establish processes and best practices their team can actually use.

The RSG Difference

★★★★★

I have enjoyed a few of the offerings of Retail Smart Guys, including, purchase order entry, social media posting and their Open-to-Buy planning consulting. I am in a better position in my business today than I ever have been and am grateful for their experience and expertise. I would definitely recommend using their services to maximize your work-life balance and hopefully increase your bottom line.
