ItemSmart™

Item Planning, Orchestrated Autonomously Across Retail

Only With Impact Analytics
Many retailers manage thousands of SKU decisions through disconnected spreadsheets, discovering overstock, understock, and receipt conflicts only after inventory is committed. AI-native ItemSmart forecasts demand at the SKU level and, through autonomous orchestration, continuously reconciles item plans with inventory, pricing, and markdown decisions before those conflicts become expensive.

What is ItemSmart

AI-Native Item Planning Across Every SKU

ItemSmart is AI-native item planning software that continuously forecasts demand, manages exceptions, and coordinates item-level decisions across thousands of SKUs. Through autonomous orchestration, every recommendation is reconciled against inventory, pricing, and markdown strategies before it reaches a planner.
Demand-Aligned Inventory
Real-time recommendations hold demand and supply in balance, reducing stockouts and excess inventory together.
Exception-Driven Planning
Dynamic filtering and automated alerts surface only the SKUs needing a decision, so your team manages by exception.
Flexible Hierarchy Management
Seamless top-down and bottom-up editing gives you absolute control across every layer of your product hierarchy.
Scenario-Tested Promotions & Markdowns
Plan promotions with confidence. Forecast outcomes across multiple discount levels, align your markdown strategy with demand signals, and drive higher sell-through while reducing excess inventory.

Every SKU Decision Made with Autonomous Orchestration

SKU planning doesn't happen in isolation. Every recommendation is evaluated against inventory, pricing, markdown, and demand signals before it reaches a planner, ensuring decisions stay aligned across the broader retail plan.
AI-Native Forecasting
AI-native forecasting reads demand by SKU, region, and channel, catching sellouts and overstocks before either costs you.
Global Hierarchy Control
Adjust an entire hierarchy level or a custom subset in a single command, instead of updating SKUs one by one.
Exception-Based Focus
Item plans reconcile against inventory, pricing, and markdown decisions before any recommendation reaches you.
Built for Retail Scale
Massive multi-channel assortments stay manageable, without the administrative friction scale usually brings.
Built by Planners
Every workflow is shaped by retail veterans, so it matches how merchandising teams plan rather than how tools assume they do.

Thousands of SKUs Shouldn't Mean Thousands of Decisions

Only with Impact Analytics does ItemSmart continuously identify the small number of SKUs carrying the greatest financial risk, reconcile those decisions against the broader retail plan, and bring planners a prioritized worklist instead of another spreadsheet.

Item Planning Solutions for Every Industry

No two categories plan the same way, so ItemSmart reshapes itself around what each industry actually struggles with, coordinating every decision from the same plan.

Apparel, Fashion and Accessories

A trend can turn in a week and take your assortment with it. ItemSmart tracks that shift at the SKU level so your departments and classes move together instead of catching up separately.

Furniture

Get a high-value SKU wrong here, and it sits on the floor for months. The item planning software tightens the forecast on exactly those items, so slow-moving inventory stops tying up cash across the hierarchy.

Home Improvement & Hardware

Ten thousand SKUs shouldn't mean ten thousand decisions a week. ItemSmart narrows that down to the ones that actually need attention, with forecasting and alerts built for that kind of scale.
