The merchmix universe

One system. Every module.

Each module runs a part of the business in its own right. Together they run the whole of retail on one source of truth.

Eight modules. One set of numbers.

Start with one and add the next when the business needs it. Nothing is re-implemented, because every module reads and writes the same live numbers.

core · Merchandise planning

Plan the season. Trade the week. Steer the business.

core is where the whole trading cycle lives: budgets, WSSI and open-to-buy, range plans and range boards, critical path, dashboards and trade reviews. From executive planning to line-level detail, set the plan, watch it trade live, and adjust while the season can still be shaped.

core plus · Planning, allocation, planogram

Put the plan on the floor. Measure every fixture.

core plus takes what core plans and makes it physical. ARRO allocates with merchmix intelligence, store by store and size by size. VM pushes the range from range board into planograms and a 3D model of every store, then measures ROI down to the fixture, with compliance tracking so you know each store executed the plan.

core plus works off core’s live plan: allocation draws on the same demand signals, planograms carry the signed-off range, and fixture results flow back into trade reviews and atlas.

forge · Product development

Design what your data already knows will sell.

forge is the merchmix design studio. Design assisted by merchmix intelligence, from first sketch to tech pack, with computer vision reading what you show it and your own trading data informing what you create. Design stops being a guess about next season and starts being built on what your customers actually buy.

Designs move straight from forge into range plans and range boards in core, so the range you build is the range you buy, allocate and trade.

horizon · Retail ERP

The retail-native backbone.

horizon is where the operational truth lives: products, inventory, sales, purchasing and finance in one ledger, live all day with no overnight batching. Built for retail from the start, not adapted to it, so the numbers your team trades on are the numbers as they are right now.

horizon feeds live sales and stock to core and core plus, carries purchasing through beacon, and keeps every module and report on the same ledger.

beacon · Supplier portal

Suppliers in the system, not in your inbox.

beacon brings your suppliers into the same workspace as your team: POs raised and acknowledged, ASNs and invoices flowing through one place, and forecasts shared so suppliers see demand coming instead of discovering it in the order. Fewer surprises on both sides of the relationship.

vertex · Order management

Every order takes its best route.

vertex orchestrates fulfilment across warehouses, stores and suppliers: orders routed to the smartest source, split when they need to be, backorders and dropship handled without anyone chasing them. The exceptions surface themselves, so your team only touches the orders that need a human.

vertex reads live stock from horizon and orbit, routes around what allocation has planned, and hands every pick to orbit with full visibility back into the ledger.

orbit · Warehouse

The warehouse, visible as it happens.

orbit runs the warehouse end to end: inbound receipts, putaway, pick, pack and dispatch, with every movement and location tracked live. No end-of-day mystery, no stock that exists in the system but not on the shelf. What the warehouse says is what the warehouse has.

atlas · Analytics

Build the report once. Never build it again.

atlas is where board packs, trade packs and weekly reports get built once and then run themselves: updating on live data the moment it changes and distributing automatically to the people you choose. The Monday deck stops being a job. It becomes something that arrives.

Questions, answered.

Can we start with just one module?

Yes. merchmix is designed to be modular: most retailers start with core, or core and core plus, and add modules as they need them. Every module you add works off the same live numbers from day one, so the system grows without re-implementation.

Does merchmix work with our existing systems?

Yes. merchmix connects to the systems retailers already run, including NetSuite, SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Shopify and BigQuery, alongside POS, ecommerce and data platforms. Your data flows in live, and decisions flow back out to where the work happens.

Who is merchmix built for?

Inventory-led retailers, wholesalers and brands: businesses where stock decisions drive growth, margin and cash. Our customers plan and trade across stores, ecommerce and wholesale, and our founders ran planning at M&S and ASOS, so the platform is built around how retail teams actually work.

What does merchmix replace, and what does it sit alongside?

merchmix replaces the spreadsheets and disconnected point tools that merchandising teams run their week in. It sits alongside the operational systems you keep: commerce platforms, finance systems and data warehouses stay, and merchmix connects the decisions across them.

Can we see it on our own data?

Yes, and it is the best way to see merchmix. Book a meeting at the stand and tell us about your categories and your stack, and we will show you the parts of the system that matter to your business.

You’ve seen the map. Now see it live.

Come and talk to the team at the stand: your questions, your categories, a conversation about your business, not a pitch. Not at the show? Book a demo and we will show you everything from wherever you are.
