The operating system for modern retail

The right buy,Right now.

Tightly’s machine learning forecasts demand at SKU and channel level, then reconciles it with your top-down plan. The buy lands closer to real demand — more sells at full price, and less cash sits in stock that won’t move.

The plan was never one number.

The same season’s open-to-buy lives in five tools and disagrees in every one. By the time the numbers argue out loud, the buy is already committed.

One number, end to end

The whole season sits on one model. Change a number in one place and it updates everywhere it’s used, straight away.

  • Forecast through markdown, all in one model
  • Edit anything, and the rest follows
  • Open-to-buy everyone plans against
  • Always current, so versions never drift apart
Try it

Move one number. Watch the plan reconcile.

Change demand for one category and the buy, allocation and replenishment move with it — live. Full-price sell-through holds, because the plan stays reconciled.

Full-price sell-through holds at ~88%— because the buy moved with demand, not a month behind it.

The same plan runs every job.

The number you just set flows through every job, from demand to the dock. Click through — it’s one system, not four tools.

It shows up in the numbers.

A single viral shade can distort the whole plan. The model re-forecasts hourly, so when a launch takes off we re-buy the shades that are actually moving instead of guessing a month later.

The Demand agent stages the moves

It flags the categories drifting from plan and queues the rebalance, re-buy and OTB moves — for your review, inside your limits.

PlanningNew

Open-to-buy reconciles to the MFP

Change the top-down envelope and open-to-buy, allocation and replenishment move with it — live, not in next month's spreadsheet.

Forecasting

Demand at size-curve level

Every style now forecasts to its own size curve by channel, so the buy commits to the sizes that actually sell.

New whitepaper

The forecast is not a chatbot.

Why inventory demand planning needs purpose-built ML, not an LLM, and why a forecast only becomes a plan when bottom-up meets top-down.
