For merchandisers
Your name is on the OTB.
core holds the budget, the OTB and the range in one place, live. The figure you defend to finance is the figure the business trades on.
Every file claims to be final.
Your skill is reading the customer. The week goes to finding the current version.
The Monday trade.
Sales and stock from two exports, pasted together first.
The OTB for finance.
Defended from an MFP (WSSI) that was right on Friday.
The cut after sign-off.
The signed range reopened, every file edited by hand.
The planning team.
Hours spent rebuilding files instead of trading.
Before merchmix, a mid-market retailer runs on 10+ systems and 50+ spreadsheets.
Product talk fills the meeting.
atlas puts sales, stock, margin and sell-through for every category on one screen, recalculated in seconds. Nobody builds the deck, so the hour goes on product.
atlas records the decisions and action items as the meeting runs.
Sign-off survives the second meeting.
Three questions follow every sign-off. core answers each from the live plan.
- What is left to spend?
- OTB by brand, category, subcategory and store, against budget and actuals.
- What does the cut do?
- Preview it in the weekly WSSI grid, compare it with the signed version, then commit.
- Which version did we sign?
- Budgets move from draft to approved, with audit history. Earlier versions restore.
yukti carries out what the room agrees.
It reads every season you’ve traded and acts inside your rules. You approve, or let it run.
- Rebalances stock between stores.
- Raises the replenishment.
- Cuts the purchase order.
- Creates the new style.
And more. All live today.
Approved means approved everywhere.
The approved budget syncs into the WSSI. Approved size recommendations carry into the range plan.

Reading the customer stays with you.
If the figures are live and yukti proposes the moves, what is a merchandiser for? The call no system makes: which colour comes back, which line goes deeper, what the customer is tired of. merchmix gives you the hours to make it.
Questions, answered.
Does our ERP stay?
Yes. It can stay the system of record. Nothing is written back to it without a person approving it.
Can I see who changed the plan?
Yes. Budgets and the WSSI keep their versions and audit history. Compare any two, or restore an earlier one.
Does yukti act without asking?
Only where your rules allow it. Approve each move, or let it run inside the limits you set.
How soon could we trade on it?
Live in 12 to 15 weeks, end to end. The free 6-week POC on your own data, no contract, can come first.
Months to days, on your own trade.
The May 2026 release said merchmix cuts retail planning from months to days. Test it on a free 6-week POC with your own data, no contract, or a 1-hour demo with sales and product.
