Family Center Farm & Home implements Buyer’s Toolbox AP for Merchandise Planning and OTB

/ New Customer Implementation

I am pleased to announce that Family Center Farm & Home has implemented Buyer’s Toolbox AP for Merchandise Planning and Open To Buy, as well as reporting, to support sharper inventory control across a famously diverse assortment.

The enterprise-scale planning and reporting solution was implemented in coordination with Horizon Retail Systems, from Company down to the SKU/Store level in less than 5 weeks.

Family Center Farm & Home is a family-owned retailer serving customers across Missouri and Kansas since 1965. What began as a single store in Harrisonville has grown into a group of large-format locations that has earned the moniker “The Everything Store” — farm and ranch supplies, home goods, apparel and footwear, pet and wildlife, lawn and garden, hardware, and outdoor power equipment, carrying names like Carhartt, Ariat, Purina, Stihl and Cub Cadet.

Inventory is the single biggest investment most retailers make, and it gets harder to manage when you combine heavy seasonal buys with hundreds of buyer-driven and replenished product lines under one roof. Buyer’s Toolbox AP has delivered structured Merchandise Planning, Open To Buy tools and coaching, better control of Receipt flow, and a disciplined approach to improving Inventory Turns and GM — complementing the six decades of category knowledge the Family Center Farm & Home team already brings.
