Planning software: Prepare for success

We are taught from a very early age that planning is an important – and even required – function of succeeding in nearly any aspect of life. It’s rarely a good idea to step out the door with no idea of what you are doing or where you are going, and especially so if you have an end goal in mind. The same holds true for retail business – you can’t start up a shop and expect to succeed just by existing. You have to have careful strategies in place for everything from pricing and merchandising to advertising and customer service. Thankfully, there are merchandise planning tools in the market tailor-made to help.

ChainDrive’s retail management software package includes a robust Planning (Open-to-Buy) software component with intuitive merchandise planning tools, flexible views, and support systems that will help you devise plans for success.

Retail Planning software lets you take advantage of both dynamic controls and segmented views in order to digest information in a wide variety of ways. Look at performance, metrics, sales data, and nearly anything else you might want to analyze with this software tool in order to begin the path of designing a winning plan. The OTB software also supports the critical need to plan by season. Since so many businesses deal in products that vary in popularity by the time of year, it is crucial to have prepared strategies for different intervals throughout a product’s life cycle. ChainDrive’s Open-to-Buy software gives you just that.

With all of these dynamic features and more, you will be fully prepared to design plans for the success of your retail business. Try out ChainDrive open-to-buy (OTB) software and see how much stronger your business can become!
