The Modern Stack

Precision for the active world

Stop guessing the curve. We forecast every single SKU individually based on its unique history—detecting exactly when "Early Winter" gear peaks versus "Late Winter" clearance.

Assortment Management

Manage the mix

You sell both Snowboards (Equipment) and Jackets (Apparel). They behave differently. Tightly handles both in one platform—applying "Size Curve" logic to your apparel to prevent broken sizing, while applying standard replenishment logic to your equipment to keep the hardgoods in stock.

Hybrid Logic

Automatically switch forecasting models based on category: Size Analysis for Softgoods, Reorder Point logic for Hardgoods.

Size Intelligence

Ensure you land the right ratio of S/M/L for apparel drops, preventing the dreaded "broken rack" at mid-season.

Long-Range Planning

Book the "futures"

Sporting goods often require booking orders 6–9 months in advance. Tightly aggregates your long-range SKU forecasts into a consolidated vendor plan. Give suppliers your total volume requirements early to secure production capacity, knowing the numbers are built on granular data, not guesses.

Demand Roll-Up

Aggregate SKU-level forecasts into total Vendor Capacity requirements (e.g., "Total Nike Footwear Units") for the season.

Budget Alignment

Compare your bottom-up "Futures" plan against your top-down financial budget instantly to spot overspends before you book.

Cross-Merchandising

Complete the kit

Customers shop by activity. If they buy a Tennis Racket, they need balls and grips. Tightly’s Bundling logic links these items. If the forecast for rackets spikes, the system automatically prompts the matching buy for the accessories, ensuring the customer never walks out with half the gear.

Attach Rate Forecasting

Link accessory demand to primary hardware sales (e.g., Forecast 2 cans of balls for every 1 racket sold).

Stock Alignment

Ensure accessories arrive with the hardgoods, preventing situations where you have the bike but not the helmet.

Lifecycle Management

The "Clean Exit" Strategy

The danger in sporting goods is carrying winter stock into spring. Tightly monitors the sell-through rate as the season winds down. We help you identify exactly when to stop replenishing and when to trigger the end-of-season markdowns to ensure you enter the off-season with a clean warehouse.

Stop-Buy Triggers

Automatically halt replenishment orders X weeks before the season ends to prevent "stranded inventory."

Markdown Timing

Identify the precise week to drop prices to clear remaining liability before the floor set changes.
