Open-to-Buy software supports planning for success
There’s no real “trade secret” to running a successful retail business. The only way to make your business as strong and continually successful as possible is through hard work, research, and careful planning. Being able to map out plans on both the macro and micro levels is a fundamental part of running retail stores and chains the right way. ChainDrive’s retail management software package includes a powerful Open-to-Buy software component that has all of the tools and features you need to plan for success.
With the ability to design plans for multiple seasons, you can make plans far in advance so that you are prepared at all times of the year. Seasonal planning is especially important for retail businesses that sell products dependent on the weather – this includes clothes, tools, and more. Use the multi-seasonal planning module to determine when and how you will phase products in and out so that you can maximize your sales from the hot months to the cold ones.
With the “Plan, Validate, and Lock” feature, you are in control of your inventory. You can exclude certain products from changes made and you can also lock entire sub-levels for maximum efficiency. Open-to-Buy – OTB software empowers you with dynamic controls that allow you the flexibility you need to accomplish anything from categorizing your products to developing comparisons and reports.
With the ability to look at data in a variety of views, you and your employees will have the option of digesting information in ways that are most meaningful to the team. This includes various types of graphs, segmented views, drill-downs, and much more.
