What is Retail Planning?

Retail Planning connects strategy to shelf across financial planning, merchandising, assortment, price/promo, allocation, replenishment, and space. Teams set targets (sales, margin, inventory), simulate scenarios, then translate the plan into localized assortments and space while staying aligned to OTB and capacity constraints. A connected platform keeps plans synchronized as trends shift, feeds execution systems (OMS/WMS/LMS), and returns performance signals for continuous re-planning. The outcome is fewer fire drills and a measurable link from every decision to financial results.
