As retailers grow, aligning high-level financial goals with store-level buying becomes a constant struggle. What starts as simple planning on spreadsheets (or in old, siloed systems) can quickly spiral into inventory surprises, missed targets, and mismatches between strategy and execution. Teams often find themselves juggling disconnected plans, manual processes, and delayed insights—leading to costly overstock, stockouts, and frustration across departments.

In this infographic, we break down the most common pain points retail teams face when making buying decisions, including visibility gaps, communication breakdowns, and the inability to reconcile top-down plans with store-level needs. If you’re dealing with inventory imbalances, slow decision-making, or a lack of cross-team alignment, this is for you.
