Planners and Buyers

Retail planners and buyers drive crucial business outcomes. Mastering inventory forecasting is essential for success. tRS lets you build the best possible product assortment for your customers.

Ask AI - Understand demand, not just data

Ask AI helps planners quickly see what’s selling, what’s stalling, and where inventory decisions are creating risk or opportunity.

Instead of sifting through complex analysis, planners get clear summaries that support faster, more confident assortment and inventory decisions.

The
Problem

For retail planners and buyers, detailed sales analysis is vital. They then plan out what needs to be bought and landed where and when and at what price. It is a complex task.

tRS shows product performance at both aggregate and individual SKU levels, while tracking sales across every channel and location. Understand sell-through velocity based on price and promotion effectiveness. Use these insights to optimise inventory and assortment for demand.

Swimming in Larger Data Pools…

Planners and buyers swim in large, and complex pools of data on a day to day basis. If that data is not well-structured across dimensions – (ie. product, channel and time) – then the task of making sense of that data is impossible.

Highly flexible access to data with unlimited metrics and aggregations

Look back and forward in time using sales, order, budgets, and forecasts

Visualisation of range performance and assortment exceptions via our Product Gallery

Highly processed data feeds to advance demand planning tools
