The Power of Retail Know-How: Open-to-Buy Management

How can my Open-to-Buy Management services help you?
  • You’ll go to market with a plan and a budget that will allow you to buy the next season with confidence.
  • You’ll open up the season with the right amount of merchandise, and still have plenty of room to bring in fresh merchandise throughout the season.
  • You’ll know right away (and by how much) whenever you need to bring more inventory in-season, as well as tighten up whenever that’s necessary.
  • You’ll no longer be looking at too much stock left over at the end of the season that has to be marked down.

Few retail POS systems include Open-to-Buy packages.
The first thing to understand is that few retail POS systems targeted at independent retailers include Open-To-Buy packages. So it's not at all unusual to feel you don't have the necessary tool to manage your retail inventory. Taking advantage of our Open-to-Buy management services will begin to pay cash flow dividends almost immediately.

A tool to manage the entire merchandising side of your business.
At its simplest, an Open-To-Buy is a tool for retail inventory replenishment. It starts with developing monthly sales and inventory and receipt plans that tie back to your financial objectives. But a retail OTB is also a dynamic tool for adjusting sales and inventory plans in season, and managing actual inventory levels. At its most dynamic, a retail Open-To-Buy can be constructed to manage the entire merchandising side of your business.

An Open-To-Buy that’s right for you.
I’ll create an Open-to-Buy to meet your specific needs. From the time you go to market at the beginning of the season through the end of the season when you’re beginning to prepare for the next year, you’ll have the detailed information and recommendations that you’ll need to make good, informed decisions. Utilizing my Open-to-Buy services is one of the few business investments you can make where you’ll see the payback almost immediately.
