Automate Your OTB As Much (or as Little) as You Want
Once integrated with your systems, Retalon’s planning software can run almost entirely on auto-pilot — forecasting demand for every SKU at every store, calculating your budgets, and even generating optimized POs.
Moreover, our software is highly configurable, allowing you to easily add your own unique rules and thresholds.
If you’re looking for maximal efficiency, you can choose to automate most of your process while only dealing with the exceptions. Or if you’re looking for more control and better insights, you can set your own rules within the software for reviewing and approving actions.
You’re in the driver’s seat.
Ensure Every Dollar in Your OTB Plan Brings You ROI
Unlike other Open-to-Buy systems, Retalon’s solutions are built on top of the most accurate demand forecast in retail. The system knows what you’re going to sell before you sell it.
This is because our demand forecasting engine takes dozens of influencing factors into account (seasonality, pricing, cannibalization, etc.) — making it infinitely more accurate than a traditional sales forecast.
Add in AI that always optimizes for inventory GMROI, and you have a recipe for maximum profit.
