Open To Buy Inventory Planning

We will analyze your inventory and, if necessary, reclassify it to what you need to buy properly. Then we provide a detailed monthly open to buy plan for each class (by location for multi-store retailers). By planning this way, we can help you to reduce markdowns and enhance your profitability. We make sure you have the proper inventory levels in all classes, at all locations.

Sales Forecasting

Far better than simple spreadsheets (or even complex ones!), our inventory plans are based upon the best forecasting system in the industry. Last year, our forecasts were 94+% accurate across over 500 doors. With that level of accuracy, we can plan your business properly, ensuring you bring in the right goods to the right location at the right time.

Cash Flow Planning

We will make sure you know what you need to maintain in monthly sales in order to pay all your bills and reduce your debt. We help our clients pay down debt, instead of taking more cash out of the bank!

Technical Issues

Struggling with technical issues? Can't get at your data? Trying to figure out what technologies to apply to your business? Retail Smart Guys can help with all of these issues, and more.
