What it is
Retail Directions Merchandise Planning is a web-based merchandise management solution for planning, buying, and managing retail ranges with live sales, gross margin, and inventory data.

Purchasing supports orders for direct delivery, cross-dock, and break-bulk, plus purchase and on-demand allocations. Store replenishment algorithms and stock redistribution address balancing and consolidating inventory across stores. Markdown and promotion planning are included. SalesCube provides margin and sell-through analysis across three dimensions. Retail Directions describes its platform as using one integrated database shared by its retail solutions. The company says retailers in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom use the platform, including fashion, specialty homewares, and multi-brand value retailers. Listed partners include Adyen, Afterpay, humm, Laybuy, Slyp, and Zip, with integrations supported, tested, and maintained.
