For finance teams
See markdown risk before the purchase order.
Finance owns the margin a season ends with. SeasonTail puts the cost of the tail in the plan from day one, and shows where each decision moves it.
Your season today.
Markdown as a surprise
The season's margin is only clear once it's too late to change the buy.
Inventory tied up in the wrong sizes
Stock that looks healthy on paper is the sizes nobody asked for in that store.
Promotions with unclear returns
Sales go up, and nobody can say whether margin did.

Five decisions, one season
From the first forecast to the last markdown. Use all five, or start with the one you need.
Every week, what sold and what didn't goes back into the model. The next decision starts from what just happened.
Keep your stack. Add one decision.
You don't have to replace a system to start. Pick the decision that costs you most, often size and pack, where the tail is easiest to see. Each one you add reads from the same season model, so it starts with everything the last one learned.
See how it fits together- Works with what you run
- Exports from your merchandising, ERP and allocation systems are enough to start. Decisions go back in the formats those systems already take.
- Planners stay in charge
- Every recommendation shows its reasons. Planners adjust and approve, and nothing leaves until they do.
- Your data stays yours
- It is used to plan your season, and never shown to another retailer.
