Retail Merchandise Planning with Board

In today’s ferociously competitive market, many retailers are aware of the need to digitally transform their planning activities in order to compete effectively. Spreadsheet-based processes do not provide the data accuracy, depth, or clarity needed to effectively analyze, forecast, and plan, yet they are so entrenched in the day-to-day operations that retailers often find it challenging to replace them. On top of this, packaged Merchandise Planning solutions rarely provide a direct fit to a customer’s business planning process, leading to compromise and unsatisfactory results.

Helping retailers to overcome these challenges, Board's Intelligent Planning Platform enables the creation of a planning solution that can easily be tailored to existing business processes, meeting the retailer’s needs without any compromise.
