Buyer's Toolbox

What Buyer's Toolbox is

Buyer’s Toolbox is retail merchandise planning software for teams managing financial plans, open-to-buy, forecasts, and reporting. Its Advanced Planning features include merchandise financial planning, sales forecasting, scenario planning, seasonal and assortment planning, and multi-currency support. Reports cover variance, open-to-buy, sell-through, and scenario comparisons, with drill-downs at different business levels. ERP integrations can bring in sales, stock, receipts, merchandise hierarchies, locations, and custom data, then return forecasts, open-to-buy information, reports, KPIs, and scenario outputs. The software supports cloud-hosted and on-premise models, including locally hosted and Azure environments. Access controls include roles and permissions, isolated environments, and sandboxes; customer plans are stored in a standard SQL database with a documented schema. The maker offers a no-cost proof of concept using a prospective customer's data, typically completed within one or two weeks. Pricing for extensions such as Basic Allocation & Replenishment and Data Science is handled in a planning consultation.
