Inventory Planning Software
Increase cash flow and plan inventory with confidence.
We help independent retailers get inventory under control with the data, reports and plans you need to finally turn a profit every month.
Think of the last time you asked yourself one (or more) of these questions…
Am I overbought on merchandise?
Are my buying decisions based on data or emotion?
What are the right amount of markdowns to move goods efficiently?
Do I have enough cash on hand to grow the business?
Where can I find more time to focus on my business?
Have my sales plateaued?
Could I be missing sales when low on key merchandise?
Is my business living up to its potential?
Isn’t it time you had an answer?
“After running our retail stores for many years and having the constant concern of cash flow, we needed to find a better way. Management One provided that way. Our business has truly reached the next level of success and continues to grow.”
“Management One has effectively helped to manage my inventory and increase my margins. I trust their feedback and use their suggestions to navigate my merchandise buying and maintain a healthy cash flow.”

Secure the future of your business, even in trying times.
Inventory planning—often called open-to-buy (OTB)—reveals how much inventory you need to meet demand. The fundamentals are simple, but accurate planning requires accurate projections, and predicting the future—especially in uncertain times—is no simple thing.
Built on thirty years of real store data, our proven inventory plans are calibrated to your performance and retail trends overall.
Proper merchandise planning is the only way to maintain control when outside factors bring uncertainty in their wake.
We use timely inventory data and retail expertise to increase cash flow and put your money to work.
For decades, we’ve created winning, data-driven business strategies for retailers across the globe. Regardless of store size, type, or history—through recessions, tech revolutions, and pandemics—our proven approach to inventory management has remained the same, because the universal truths of retail never change.
