In this on-demand demo, Toolio Solutions Consultant Danielle Gregoire; a retail planning practitioner with 15 years on the floor at Macy's, Kate Spade, and Outdoor Voices, walks through what it actually looks like when merchandise planning, assortment, and allocation run as one connected system.
What you'll see in action:
→ A seeded plan built from your own data before anyone touches the grid — sales history, trend, and category groupings already applied on day one
→ Planning grids with 250+ metrics and full attribute flexibility, with the familiar look of Excel and none of the manual overhead
→ Tournament forecasting that runs multiple ML and statistical models every week at the item-cluster level, back-tests against history, and picks the one it trusts most — automatically
→ Hindsight and rationalization that connects what sold last season directly to what you need to plan next, so carry-forward decisions have a foundation instead of a gut feeling
→ Allocation that looks forward, not backward — time-phased, size-level demand built against trend and planned events, not last year's numbers
→ Tuli, Toolio's built-in AI assistant, pulling live answers from your planning data in plain language
→ Multi-plan reconciliation across store, wholesale, and long-range plans — all tracing back to one version of the truth
The kind of session worth watching if your team is still stitching together the plan in spreadsheets between systems.
