The leak

See inventory risk before it becomes margin loss

Merchmix reduces the time between signal, decision and action. It connects demand, stock, intake, pricing and margin signals in real time, so finance can see where exposure is building, quantify the cost of waiting and move the right action into the right workflow before margin is gone.

Trading Pipeline

From signal to action

Signal detected

See demand shifts before they become finance surprises.

Merchmix Intelligence reads live sales, stock and demand movement so finance can see where plan is drifting before the board pack catches up.

Scenarios modelled

Merchmix Intelligence forecasts the margin, cash and weeks-of-cover impact of each action, so finance can compare hold, chase, transfer, rebalance or markdown before teams commit.

Proof & credibility

Built by retailers who know where margin really leaks.

Merchmix was built by people who have worked inside brands like ASOS, M&S, Best & Less and SABA - buying, planning and trading real ranges, with real stock, real suppliers and real margin pressure.

That experience is built into the platform: fewer disconnected decisions, faster action on stock risk and clearer commercial control for finance.
