Where stores differ, quantities follow.

Historical labels resolve to canonical templates. The unmapped queue ranks gaps by revenue at stake, so you can tackle the expensive ones first.

  1. Plot the estate.

    A revenue-by-size grid places locations in cells. Bands come from the data or your own boundaries. Each location retains its role and serving distribution center.

  2. Apply buy grades.

    Values are assigned per cell. Cluster health lists misplaced stores beside their suggested position. The reason stays beside each exception.

  3. Choose trading weeks.

    Size analysis uses the periods you select. Strategies limit how far local curves move from the national shape.

Explore size curves

After the drop, replenishment takes over.

Allocation uses buy grade, size curve and capacity. A model per style controls minimums and maximums, with bulk refills and per-store overrides.

Fixtures carry capacity. Placement has context.

The approved range feeds the catalog. Products sit on bays with display rules, units per style, sell-through and weeks of cover. Shared formats hold walls and zones. The layout supplies the unit count, rather than an estimate.

Stock elsewhere? A transfer follows.

The inventory snapshot shows warehouse and store on-hand by SKU and size. Negative, below-minimum and over-maximum lines surface as exceptions. Move units between locations without routing them through the distribution center. This dated, read-only view preserves the position you are reviewing.

With permission, yukti moves merchandise.

The agent rebalances between stores, raises replenishment, cuts purchase orders and creates new styles. You approve, or let it run within the rules you set.

Live, in seconds.

Less manual analysis. A lighter workload.

“You have no idea how much time you've saved me. At least 7 or 8 hours a week.”

A planning lead at a fashion retailer, on size analysis.

Questions, answered.

How are stores graded?

Revenue and size determine a cell; each gets a buy grade. Bands are suggested or set by hand. Outliers appear beside their recommended position.

Which replenishment models are available?

Rate of sale, min-max, one-for-one, weeks of supply, safety stock buffer, demand curve refill, one-for-one sales, initial allocated quantity and no refill. Each shows its formula, with global rules and per-store overrides.

Does size data need cleaning first?

No. The mapping library reports the share of revenue and inventory already matched to canonical templates. Historical variants are reconciled; unresolved labels remain visible for cleanup. Supplier and system labels reconcile to the same size spine.

What reaches the planogram?

The approved assortment feeds the placement catalog. Display rules, units per style, sell-through and weeks of cover sit against products on the bay. Stores without an assigned format are listed.

How long until we are live?

Live in 12 to 15 weeks, end to end. The free 6-week POC uses your own store network, sales history and stock. No contract.
