Seasonal planning

Plan for peaks and seasons with demand-aware inventory.

What it is

Seasonal commitments are made months ahead, when the forecast is weakest, and corrected in-season, when options are fewest. Narrowing that gap takes a well-grounded initial buy and a fast re-planning loop once selling starts. Linkube sizes the buy from seasonal demand profiles and open-to-buy limits, then re-plans weekly as early sell-through arrives. Teams shift remaining receipts, allocation and markdown timing while the season can still be steered rather than explained afterwards.

What you get

  • Season curves built from comparable-item history
  • In-season re-forecasts from early selling signals
  • Receipt phasing matched to peak week demand
  • Clearance exposure visible before markdown decisions
