Theisen’s implements Buyer’s Toolbox AP for Merchandise Planning and OTB

/ Press Releases

Theisen’s Home • Farm • Auto is a family-owned retailer dedicated to providing high-quality products for home, farm, auto and outdoor living since 1927. Known for their legendary customer service and deep community roots, Theisen’s is constantly growing to better serve customers across the Midwest. Excitingly, Theisen’s is committed to giving back to the communities they serve through their signature More For Your Community Grant Program, supporting local initiatives and making a lasting impact where it matters most. The company has been growing steadily, adding large-format locations throughout Iowa and Wisconsin. Theisen’s is dedicated to delivering the right products to their customers while maintaining healthy inventory productivity and profitability.

I must say that I LOVE working with family-owned retailers that are focused on the bottom line, get key decision makers involved in our projects and appreciate our close, personal customer support. We bring them unparalleled bang for the buck, plenty of real life experience, and true long-term vision. We do not rely on “risk capital” for success, and neither do our best customers.

Inventory is typically the biggest investment made by any retailer, especially in the time of the “hidden recession” experienced by so many. Merchandise Planning and Open To Buy offer key tools and business processes for a company that combines seasonal buys with plenty of basics, across hundreds of buyer-driven and replenished categories. Our Buyer’s Toolbox AP solution will quickly deliver structured Merchandise Planning, Open To Buy tools and coaching, opportunities for better flow of new Receipts, and a structured approach to help skill up the experienced merchant team in scientific retailing, complementing Theisen’s century-deep experience in the business.

Our solution is being implemented conjunction with Horizon Retail Systems, relying on the ERP’s data feeds and complementing its’ existing reporting and execution functionality
