Doing Basic Allocation & Replenishment in spreadsheets? You are working too hard.
Helping retailers in 20+ countries for over 30 years.
Work at whatever level the decision requires, from a full department down to a single SKU, group by attributes and more.
Not a chain-wide or a store group average.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Your Demand Forecast flows in from Buyer’s Toolbox Advanced Planning. Open To Ship results flow back to operations. And your ERP keeps stock positions, sales history, and store structures current — no manual data loads.
Basic Allocation & Replenishment works alongside Advanced Planning. The rest of the suite extends capability as your planning operation matures.
