IT’SUGAR implements Buyer’s Toolbox AP for Merchandise Planning and OTB

/ Press Releases

How sweet it is to work with a retailer dedicated to bringing smiles and joy to their customers! 🍭

I’m thrilled to share that IT’SUGAR has successfully gone live with Buyer’s Toolbox AP for Merchandise Planning and Open To Buy. This project was a true team effort, expertly integrated with LS Retail by our partners at Ascent Enterprise Solutions. One of the highlights? We moved from contract signing to full production use in under 3 months. As always, our goal is to stay on time and on budget — and it’s a treat when a plan comes together this smoothly.

Over the last twenty years, IT’SUGAR has grown into one of the largest specialty candy “retailtainers” in the world, with over 100 locations across the U.S. and Canada. They are known for “lighthearted rebellion” and “absurd sugar innovations” — a mission we are more than happy to support with better planning tools, so that everyone can find what they need when that sweet craving hits.

Personally, I found it particularly gratifying to be able to work with IT’SUGAR’s friendly and professional Planning/IT team that’s focused on bringing more smiles to our turbulent world.

It’s great stuff, and I’m already looking forward to adding some IT’SUGAR confections to our gourmet chocolate spread at the next NRF! 🍫✨
