Real-World Workflow · Retail Case Study
Give inventory planners a faster starting point, not a black box.
A premium retailer was spending dozens of hours in spreadsheets allocating new collections, replenishing top-performing stores, and consolidating stock. WhoDB brought those steps into one streamlined planning workflow.
The challenge.
Planning meant downloading endless reports, comparing product histories, checking stock levels across stores, and building manual formulas. Allocation alone took 3–4 hours per product category every week.
The solution
Planners now start with smart recommendations generated by their own rules in WhoDB, giving them full freedom to review, tweak, and approve.
New collection allocation dropped from 3–4 hours per category down to 10–15 minutes.
Replenishment alerts and stock consolidation suggestions run automatically, letting planners focus on strategic choices instead of spreadsheet math.

New collection allocation

Replenishment

Consolidation
