PursuitBid for retailers

Plan inventory buys, seasonal peaks, and cash timing with budgets, rolling forecasts, a 13-week cash outlook, and scenarios for retailers.

Retailers buy inventory well before it sells, and seasonal peaks make the gap bigger. A strong holiday plan can still leave the business short of cash in the fall if purchases, payroll, and rent land before sales.

PursuitBid keeps the adopted budget fixed, maintains a rolling forecast as sales come in, and shows cash timing week by week. Scenarios test a larger buy, a weaker season, or a new location before management commits. Each published report keeps its assumptions, so the next season starts from what actually happened.

Things to keep in mind

  • PursuitBid is not an inventory system. Keep stock records in your point of sale.
  • Model supplier payment terms and deposits explicitly.
  • Revisit forecasts weekly during peak season.
