SAGE · MEN'S · LAST 4 WEEKS

Strong month — sales up 12% over last year, led by outerwear and footwear. Tailored clothing is soft; that's the miss. Barbour is carrying you, Faherty is dragging. Two reorders can't wait, and there's dead stock in knitwear to clear now.

Reorder
Alden 990, brown — 3 pairs left at 71% sell-through. Reorder before the season gap opens.
Markdown
Faherty knit polos — 22% sell-through at 8 weeks. Take 30% now to clear before summer.
The status quo

Right now, understanding your own business is a manual job.

A real vendor-and-class read means exporting from Counterpoint, wrangling it in spreadsheets, and — when it matters most — paying a consultant to tell you what your own data already knows.

Exports & spreadsheets

Pull the POS export, rebuild the same pivot tables every month, hope you didn't fat-finger a formula.

Outside consultants

Wait weeks and pay thousands for a report that's stale the day it lands.

Gut and memory

Make the reorder on instinct because the numbers were too much work to pull in time.

What Retail Sage does

Decision-first, not descriptive.

Every view leads with what to do — the metrics are there when you want to check the work, not stacked in your way.

Vendor & class reporting

The consultant's report, on every upload.

Sold and unsold items, sell-through, margin, and on-hand value by vendor and by class — printable, period-over-period, and department-aware for Men's and Women's.

  • Sell-through and margin side by side, so growth never hides a margin leak
  • Every figure compared to last year, automatically
  • Print-clean for the buying meeting

Inventory intelligence

Know what to reorder before the gap opens.

Inventory turn, dead stock, low stock, and reorder candidates — with on-hand value rolled up by vendor and department, so capital stops sitting on the shelf.

  • Reorder candidates ranked by sell-through and days of cover
  • Dead stock surfaced with the markdown that clears it
  • On-hand value by vendor, so you see where cash is parked
Reorder
Barbour Bedale, sage, M/L — 4 days of cover at current pace. 84% sell-through across three seasons.
Dead stock
Denim, resort delivery — $9,400 on hand, 41 days no movement. 30% clears it inside two weeks.
Investigate
Accessories turn down to 1.8× — capital tied up. Worth a class-level review before fall buy.
Sage narrative & action cards

A plain-English read, then a ranked list of moves.

Every period, Sage writes what happened in words a merchant trusts, then hands you a short, ranked set of specific actions: protect, investigate, plan, reorder, mark down.

  • The commentary a good buyer would write, in seconds
  • Actions ranked by what moves the P&L most
  • Every claim traceable to the numbers behind it
SAGE · WOMEN'S · PERIOD 4

Outerwear carried the month at 78% sell-through — reorder the sage Bedale while it's hot. Accessories are the drag: 29% sell-through, turn down to 1.8×. That's capital you can free up. Denim slipped 12% against last year at soft margin — worth a look before the fall buy.

Document management

Every process, policy, and file — in one place Sage can read.

Store procedures, training notes, contracts, and reference files all live in one searchable library, organized by folder with role-based access control. Ask Sage a question about how something works, and it answers from your actual documentation — citing the source — instead of making something up.

  • Organized by folder — procedures, training, contracts, and reference material each have their place
  • Role-based access control keeps sensitive documents visible only to the people who should see them
  • Full-text search surfaces the right file in seconds, and Sage always cites what it read

ASK SAGE

Not a chatbot. A senior merchant.

Ask Sage anything, anytime, in plain English — about a vendor, a class, a customer, or a document you've uploaded — and get a real answer, with the figures that back it up.

It never guesses past the data, and it always shows its work.

Which vendors should I cut next season?
Two clear candidates. Faherty22% sell-through, margin at 44.8%, below your 50% floor, and down 21% against last year. Canali is softer than it looks: sales off 34%, but margin is holding at 52% — that reads like a traffic problem, not the vendor. I'd cut Faherty and put Canali on watch for one more period.
Who's worth a call this week?
Six top customers haven't purchased in 90+ days — combined lifetime value $48K. Three of them bought outerwear last fall; the new Barbour delivery is a natural reason to reach out.
What's our return authorization threshold?
Per the Loss Prevention Policy, managers can authorize returns up to $150 without a call-in — above that needs an override code. That's page 4, last updated in April.
Why it compounds

The longer you use it, the more it knows your business.

Every period you upload and every question you ask deepens your store's intelligence layer. Sage doesn't start over each month — it builds a memory of your vendors, your classes, and your customers.

01

Upload a period

Onboarding starts with three years of history, so Sage knows your seasons from day one.

02

Patterns emerge

Sell-through curves, reorder rhythms, and customer affinities sharpen with every export.

03

Reads get specific

Commentary shifts from general to yours — "this runs every spring," "she always buys the trench."

04

It's your merchant

A year in, Sage knows your business better than any report you could commission.

Who it's for

Built for merchants who know their business cold.

Retail Sage is made for a specific kind of store. If this sounds like you, it will feel like it was built for you — because it was.

Premium specialty apparel

High-end menswear and womenswear where the buy is considered and the margin matters.

One store or a few

Single location or a small group — multi-store and department-aware for Men's and Women's.

Owners & buyers

PRICING

A premium tool, priced for the businesses it's built for.

Retail Sage is high-touch: concierge onboarding, three years of history loaded for you, and a working relationship — not a sign-up form. Let's talk about whether it's a fit.
