Your stores sell differently.
They need to be stocked differently.

How It Works

Five steps from plan to shipment.

Select Your Products

Select Your Products

Work at whatever level the decision requires, from a full department down to a single SKU, group by attributes and more.

Get It Right

Every store gets what it
can actually sell.

Not a chain-wide or a store group average.

Store-Level Allocation

Every store gets allocated to its own demand.

Multiple stock methods — weeks of supply, stock-to-sales, sellthrough, goal stock, min/max — so the allocation model matches the inventory strategy. A replenishment-heavy basics business runs one way. A seasonal fashion business should use dynamic KPIs. The solution adapts to both without switching tools or rebuilding logic.

Size & Attribute Distribution

The right sizes in the right doors.

The size-color-width matrix distributes inventory by the dimensions that actually drive sell-through — not a flat size curve applied chain-wide. Each store gets a distribution profile based on its own selling pattern, so a store that skews large doesn’t receive the same size split as one that skews small. Fewer transfers. Fewer markdowns. Less dead inventory.

DC-to-store replenishment

Automated replenishment that keeps every store in stock.

Automated DC-to-store replenishment monitors stock positions and generates replenishment quantities against configurable service levels. When a store sells through, the system calculates the refill. Your team reviews exceptions instead of building replenishment orders by hand.

Make It Scale

One process that works for
30 stores, or 300.

Demand forecasting built into the replenishment workflow.

Five forecasting algorithms feed directly into the OTS calculation — historical average, seasonality, Holt-Winters, Linear Predictive Coding, or your existing plan from Toolbox Advanced Planning. The forecast and the allocation live in the same workflow.

Demand forecasting

Scale the whole footprint in one run.

Batch jobs process your full product-location matrix at once. Adding ten stores doesn’t require much work — it just means ten more rows in the batch.
