Merchandising Shouldn't Live in Spreadsheets.
When merchandising lives in Excel and scattered tools, performance data is fragmented across files. Markdown decisions happen too late or too broadly. Range planning relies on instinct, memory and manual rollups instead of real insights.
Over the past year, we partnered with a legacy New York-based fashion brand managing thousands of SKUs across retail and e-commerce. Together, we transformed three core workflows:
Merchant intuition, reinforced with evidence.
Confident decisions. Less manual effort.
Catalog Management
Range Planning
Markdown Decisions
Inside the Case Study: Three Workflow Transformations
Stop Chasing Stale Data Across Disconnected Systems
Move from scattered, outdated spreadsheets to a single source of truth. By bringing real-time performance data and product visuals into one workspace, the team quickly identified attribute-level patterns—clarifying what’s working and where to act next.
From Reactive Discounting to Targeted Markdowns
Markdowns were once manual and reactive, managed through spreadsheets. Structured, performance-led workflows helped the team focus on the right products and actively monitor campaigns—clearing inventory faster while protecting margin.
Where Intuition Meets Evidence-Backed Planning
Range planning demands both creativity and confidence. By reducing manual effort and grounding decisions in historical performance and attribute-level insights, the team built more confident, evidence-basked assortments - without constraining creative judgement.
