We'll only use this to reach out about Tightly. No newsletter.
How much cash is trapped in your inventory?
Two numbers you already know. The estimate defaults to a conservative band, so most Tightly customers free more than this.
Estimated at 15% of revenue for other consumer brand — type your real figure to override.
Frees 10% of your inventory — a deliberately cautious floor.
Estimate only, for illustration. The one-time figure frees a conservative share of your inventory value; the annual figure is the all-in cost of holding that stock (we assume 22%/yr, covering cost of capital, storage, insurance and shrink) that you stop paying. The conservative band sits below the Tightly platform average — we’ll model the real numbers on your own categories.

The finance case for changing how you plan.
Working capital, freed.
Cash out of dead stock and into ranges that trade. Reconciliation catches drift before the buy locks in.
Full-price sell-through, protected.
Buys sized to demand at the SKU/size level, not blanket. Full-price share holds through the season.
One truth, every week.
Merch, planning and finance work off the same reconciled numbers. Less argument, more execution.
Board-ready in hours.
In-season shifts get re-plotted in hours, not weeks. Board updates land with real numbers, not a rebuilt workbook.
Your agents watch the plan while your team runs the business.
Tightly's agents surface the categories drifting from plan, stage the re-forecast, and hand your team the moves to review — before the next OTB lock.

Model headroom category by category. Defensible answers to the board, not plug figures.
Live OTB control
Spend against what will sell, reconciled the same week it moves. Not next quarter.
Audit trail on every move
Every re-plan and re-forecast is a snapshot. Governance stays clean without adding process.
