Planning is a key commercial function within fashion and retail. Retail planners analyse sales, stock, customer demand and trading performance to help businesses make informed decisions about what to buy, how much stock is required and where products should be allocated.

Depending on the role, responsibilities can include sales forecasting, range planning, demand planning, stock management, allocation, seasonal planning, budgeting and analysing product performance.

Planning teams typically work closely with buying, merchandising, ecommerce, finance and retail teams to maximise availability, minimise excess stock and improve sales and margin performance.
