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.
