Now the fun begins for the merchant in you!

Start to play "What if...?"

  1. That monthly ending inventory number doesn't look quite right? Okay, change turns. What difference would that make?
  2. Having second thoughts about reaching those sales numbers in some months? No problem; change expected sales in whatever months you want.
  3. Gross Margins can be changed each month as well. Need to open up some Open-to-Buy dollars? Which months do you want some special promotions?

 

It's Dynamic!

See the cause-effect results immediately, each time you change an input. 
 
Plus, for every plan you generate, the SPEEDY Online OTB also projects GMROI. (That's the #1 measure of inventory productivity.)
