The range plan is a very valuable tool for retailers to have visibility of the next seasons’ range, and what it will deliver in terms of margin performance, before of course you commit your orders to your suppliers. With your range plan you can plan the outline structure of your range – the SKU count by Category, the number of options, the target price points. As you move closer to range launch you can add anticipated weekly rates of sale to the plan and determine initial order quantities.

Features
Review
- The review process consists of two separate activities. Firstly we carry out a Pre-Season Review of performance history to identify opportunities and problems. Secondly we ""normalize"" it. Normalization is the process of looking at history and ironing out the ""bumps"" to make it useful as a basis for planning.
Strategic Plan
- A high level plan normally used to set the critical success factors for merchandising in terms of sales, margins & volume. We use the Spring/Summer lines as the base for our plan.
Range Plan (Category Level Margin Plan)
- A detailed look at the Strategic Plan split into channel/categories and sales phases. This category level plan will form the basis for the Buy Plan.
Buy Plan
- Developing the goals of the Range Plan into specific lines or SKU’s. We can now analyze margin mix by line, what if cost price fluctuates. Utilizing “Sell Through” and “Discount” percentages this flexible driver based solution will also allow us to generate a phased forecast of sales, stock and intake, something which is often overlooked with traditional solutions due to time constraints.
KPIs
- Track performance metrics of the Strategic Plan to the Range Plan to see how objectives are aligning as the planning process evolves from the ground up. Spot variances between the Range & Buy Plan and understand the Actual trends as we actualize sales phases.
