In a very difficult sales environment, we were able to maintain margins, and that was a huge win.

Ross Stores Case Study
Planning/Replenishment

SITUATION ACTION RESULT
Ross utilized Planalytics’
11-month outlook to identify a warmer start to the outerwear season compared to last year. 
Ross cut back purchases for the outerwear category.  Ross was able to capture early season sales without over inventorying their stores. They capitalized later in the season by purchasing cancelled goods from manufacturers at reduced costs.

Limited liability and reduced markdowns
