Services we offer and our 100% money-back guarantee
Retail giants have entire teams dedicated to Merchandise Planning. They analyse past sales, forecast future demand, and maintain stock accordingly, while keeping waste to a minimum. We bring you an affordable solution tailored for businesses like yours, bringing big retailer merchandising to non retailers at a fraction of the cost.
There are two types of services on offer: a one-off short term project, reviewing your systems, your retail performance, with improvement proposals; or a monthly support service where we take care of your numbers and ordering.
One-off review
If you let us look after your numbers, we will manage your monthly ordering.
Periodic reorders (day to day business)
On a monthly basis, we analyse your latest sales and stock positions, and produce draft orders that are sent to you for approval. The reorders will ensure you are never out of stock on your bestsellers or any items in your core range, and that you do not end up overstocked. The reorders will also implement any actions agreed with you as part of the range review.
The process works like this: each month we email you a reminder for you to securely send us your sales and stock data to analyse. If needed, an order proposal will be sent to you for sign off, along with the logic behind it. Of course, you will be able to ask any questions you have.
Range review
Once or twice a year, we produce a more in-depth analysis, along with a deep-dive of your sales performance, product range, pricing, and seasonality. Based on the data, we will propose actions, such as range changes, and profit generating promotions.
The range review will highlight lessons learnt from the previous 6-12 months, and provide action points and a sales forecast for the following 6 months. This is what will guide subsequent periodic orders.
In summary, you will be able to offload the work required to optimise stock and maximise sales and profit in your business, while keeping control of how money is spent by retaining responsibility for signing off reorders. The time saved will allow you to focus on other parts of your business, your customers, and your team.
Our one-off review provides you with the key elements of Merchandise Planning Support, sales and stock planning, sales analysis, and a near future review, with the opportunities and risks we see.
We will review your historical sales performance and your stock position. Work out your bestsellers, and review the performance of your product range. We will assess your retail processes, i.e. from range selection and ordering to what you do with unsold product.
Our future review looks at the risks and opportunities identified by us, and provides a base for a draft sales plan. If required, we will put forward range change proposals.
As part of the package you will receive, if relevant for your business, a number of templates: range plan tool, line cards for managing key bestsellers, or weekly trading reports.
