Resources
Buyer's Toolbox gives your planners the reach, speed, and visibility they’re not getting from spreadsheets.
Trusted by planning teams across 20+ countries for over 30 years.
Merchandise planning, OTB, sales forecasting, and reporting — the foundation every buying team builds on.
Planning
Infrastructure
Every extension plugs into Advanced Planning. No re-implementation, no data migration. Pricing is handled in your planning consultation.
Best for multi-door retailers with deep SKU counts
Automated allocation from vendor to DC to door — driven by your plan, not gut instinct. Size curves, store clustering, and replenishment triggers that keep inventory where it sells.
Best for teams ready to optimize pricing, margin and promotions
Demand forecasting, margin optimization, and price modeling that sharpen every planning cycle. Not a day-one feature — an earned capability for when your planning data is ready.
Best for teams drowning in data but starving for insight
Weekly performance alerts, executive summaries, and recommended actions. Your team starts every week knowing what needs attention and what to do about it.
We don’t expect you to sign based on a demo with sample data. We build a working proof of concept with your data — so the decision is based on evidence, not promises.
Share your data
Send us a representative sample — sales history, hierarchy, and plan targets. We handle the rest.

No. Buyer's Toolbox is an annual agreement, billable quarterly. We don't do multi-year lock-ins — you stay because the software works, not because a contract says you have to.
We have experience with D365, NetSuite, Jesta, Aptos, SAP, Horizon, Mi9, Celerant, Epicor, KWI, Retail Pro and others — including custom systems. If your ERP isn't listed, ask us — we've likely connected to it before.
As many as you need. Add Read/Write Planners, Read-only Viewers, and add-on users whenever you need to expand the footprint.
Your choice — we support both models with the same desktop client.
