I decide what goes where · The Allocator

Store 12 is drowning in it. Store 47 has none. Same week, same buy.

There is never time to differentiate, so everyone gets roughly the same and the estate sorts itself out afterwards, badly. Size curves inherited from last year's guesses. Stores graded by turnover, which tells you how big a store is and nothing about what it sells. Nobody has ever thanked an allocator. We'd like to start.

What changes on Tuesday.

Store profiling built on what a store actually sells, not which turnover band it sits in. Transfer-versus-markdown decided on cash rather than habit. Terminal allocation: getting the last units to the store that will sell them at full price, before they become a markdown problem.

The proof: Is it cheaper to mark it down here or move it there? Answered with a number, per SKU, per store, including the cost of moving it.

Two rows of the black-hole list. Store 320 holds 7,124 units of a colour ink cartridge that sells at 142 other stores at about 3.7 units a week, and has sold none here in 105 days. The engine's line: a line that sells elsewhere and never here is either not on the shelf or not really there.
Look at the Why column. 7,124 units of a line that sells at 142 other stores at 3.7 a week, and none here in 105 days. For you: The units are in the wrong building. You see which one, and what moving them would cost against marking them down where they are. demo estate · names, prices and geography invented; sales, inventory and gaps real · money masked
