What it is
Merchandise financial plans are written before a season starts; sales, markdowns and receipts then drift from day one. Linkube recalculates open-to-buy from actuals as the season runs, showing buyers how much budget remains by category, channel and month. When a line overperforms, freed budget moves to it with full visibility of inventory already committed, before markdown pressure builds at season end.
What you get
- Open-to-buy recalculated from actual sales and receipts
- In-season budget shifts toward what is selling
- Fewer end-of-season markdowns on overbought categories
- Merchandise budgets aligned with receipt commitments
