Planning (Open-to-Buy) Software Helps You Prepare
If you’re the manager of a retail business, you’ll know first-hand that planning and preparation are integral parts of reaching your goals and maintaining stability and success. Being able to come up with the correct methodologies for things like stocking, replenishment, pricing, and more can make or break your business. That’s why when it comes to planning for your business, you’ll want a tool that’s stronger than a simple spreadsheet system or calculator. ChainDrive’s retail management software package includes a comprehensive Planning (Open-to-Buy) component that is designed to give you a complete view of your business and help you plan for success.
Open-to-Buy software features a comparative analysis tool that lines up current data with historical data on things like sales and overall profit from your business’s past. Being able to make these comparisons will allow you to see exactly what has changed in your business, which means you can pinpoint areas of focus that need to be worked on and you can also find out what changes you’ve made that have worked out.
The Planning software takes advantage of flexibility in the presentation and analysis of all types of data. With dynamic controls and flexible tools, you can select a wide range of products or single out individual cells in order to take action, compare, or analyze. The ability to “lock” certain data also allows you to exclude specific products or information from analyses or mass actions. The software is also capable of using these grouping tools to handle seasonal products, meaning that if you’re in a retail business that deals in products that need to be phased in and out, you can do it without hassle.
