Plan the range, hit the target with fashion assortment planning software
Plan the right collection, align every team and deliver to target. Turn your collection strategy into a clear, actionable plan that connects merchandising, design and sourcing teams around the same targets, from product mix and quantities to costs, prices and margins.
What is fashion assortment planning software? A plan, not a guess.
Fashion assortment planning software turns your collection strategy into a clear, actionable plan: it maps out the upcoming collection, sets targets across categories, and tracks the collection against that plan as it evolves. It replaces the spreadsheet where targets, product mix and margins drift apart and no one sees progress until it is too late.
Because WFX assortment planning runs inside WFX Fashion PLM, your plan shares the same live data as design, costing and sourcing. As products are created, costed and adopted, progress updates against the plan, so every team reads from the same numbers.
Planning collections in spreadsheets, with no real-time view.
Targets in one workbook, the linesheet in another, actuals nowhere. Multiply that across categories and a season and, by the time you see the mix drift, the buy is already committed.
The mix drifts
Styles get added and dropped in development, so the collection ends up over-indexed in one category and thin in another.
Targets and actuals split
Your plan sits in a spreadsheet while the real products live in another system, so you never see progress against target.
Teams pull apart
Design, merchandising and sourcing each keep their own version, and the plan is out of date the moment it is shared.
Everything planning needs, in one connected module.

For design & development
For sourcing & leadership
Before WFX, a lot of production information was just in my head. Now with WFX, everything is accessible and organized. It’s made life easier for everyone involved.
Your plan connects to the rest of development.
The plan pulls real products from PLM, costs and margins from costing, and quantities from your buy plan, so targets and actuals stay in sync as the collection develops.
Product development
The plan is built from real PLM products, so styles created in development count toward your targets automatically.
Costing
Costs and margins flow from cost sheets into the plan, so your price and margin targets reflect real numbers.
Buy Plan
Quantities firm up against the plan as the buy is shaped, so your unit and value targets stay current.
ERP and NetSuite
Push finalized collection data into NetSuite or your own ERP with WFX's certified connector.
