Buying & Inventory Strategy

Inventory That Works for You—Not Against You

Build a smarter buying plan that improves margins, protects cash flow, and aligns with how your customers actually shop.

Smarter Buying Starts with a Plan

Data-Informed, Vendor-Savvy, Seasonally Aligned

We help you build an intentional buying strategy that balances your product vision with hard data. That means no more over-ordering, chasing minimums, or scrambling to offload excess inventory.

What We Deliver:

Open-to-Buy Budget Development
Align purchasing with realistic sales targets and seasonality in one budget tool.
Vendor Selection & Sourcing Guidance
Maximize terms, product quality, and margin opportunity.
Buying Calendars & Product Flow Planning
Know what to buy, when to buy, and how to prepare for demand shifts.

Inventory Optimization for Growth

Turn More, Tie Up Less

Your inventory should be a driver of growth—not a drag on cash flow. We help you set up the right tools, metrics, and systems to make sure your product strategy scales with your business.

Core Areas of Support:

Inventory KPI Setup & Dashboards
Know your sell-through, margin, and weeks-of-supply at a glance.
Reorder Strategy & Inventory Flow
Stay lean without stockouts.
Cash Flow-First Product Planning
Build flexibility and control into your inventory spend.

Training Topics May Include:

Open-to-Buy fundamentals & financial alignment
Category planning & assortment strategy
