ANT USA and Celerant Makes Merchandise Planning and Open to Buy Easy and Saves Retailers Millions
Having the Right Retail Technology Partner is Crucial in Inventory Planning
Merchandise planning, or open-to-buy, is actually pretty complex.
And having a partner like ANT USA is really what simplifies that process for so many of our retailers.
Even Doing the Basics Sets Up SMB retailers to Save Money on Inventory Management
The value that we deliver to retailers is immense.
Just the basic practice of do-it-yourself planning, forecasting, and open-to-buy can result in literally millions of dollars in benefits to a retailer of size just in the first year.
ANT USA Integration Helps Retailers Stay in Sync with Their Inventory Performance
None of that would be possible without the effort that Celerant has put in over the years in terms of pulling the right data, pulling the updates, pulling the product catalogs out of the merchandising system.
That keeps the forecasting and planning in sync with the product and store lineups.
Retail Optia for Small Retailer and Buyer’s Toolbox for Enterprise Needs
So just like Celerant, we offer a scale between what we call Retail Optia, which is probably sized more for the Cumulus Retail users. It’s less complex. And it’s less expensive.
And then it can scale all the way to our industry-leading toolbox AP solution, which can be implemented by the most demanding existing software like Stratus Enterprise and planning teams who might use it.
Proper Planning Alleviates Long-Term Headaches Caused by Poor Preparation
We find that in the case of Celerant, probably the most applicable are the simpler versions. Those offer the best combination of affordability versus functionality and probably the highest, fastest return on investment.
You know, over the years, I’ve seen that people who do data planning and open-to-buy, not just make more money, but survive the turbulence that’s inevitable.
