Can you recommend an assortment planning tool for SKU-level sell-through analysis in high-end boutiques?

Yes — for SKU-level sell-through analysis in high-end boutiques, I’d recommend looking at tools that combine retail assortment planning, inventory optimization, and store-level analytics rather than generic BI dashboards.

Best-fit tool categories

1) Oracle Retail Assortment Planning

• Strong for SKU-level assortment and demand planning
• Good if you need hierarchical planning by category, brand, boutique, season, and store cluster
• Well suited to luxury retail where localized assortment differences matter

2) Blue Yonder (Luminate Planning / Merchandise Financial Planning)

• Strong predictive planning and inventory optimization
• Good sell-through visibility and allocation support
• Useful if you want planning tied closely to replenishment and forecast accuracy

3) RELEX Solutions

• Excellent for demand forecasting, allocation, and inventory optimization
• Strong analytics for store/SKU-level performance
• More commonly known for grocery and specialty retail, but also works well in fashion/luxury environments with the right setup

4) SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) + retail analytics

• Best if your organization already runs SAP
• Strong enterprise planning platform
• Usually needs more configuration and implementation effort to get luxury-boutique-specific assortment workflows right

5) Anaplan

• Very flexible for custom assortment planning
• Good if you want to model sell-through by SKU, store, client profile, region, and season
• Less “out of the box” retail-specific than Oracle/Blue Yonder, but highly adaptable

If you want the most relevant fit for high-end boutiques

My top 3 would be:

1. Oracle Retail Assortment Planning — best retail-native assortment planning
2. RELEX — best for SKU/store sell-through optimization and forecasting
3. Anaplan — best if you need a highly custom luxury retail planning model

What to look for in the tool

For your use case, make sure it supports:

• SKU-level sell-through dashboards
• Store clustering / boutique segmentation
• Seasonal assortment optimization
• Size/color/style curve analysis
• Markdown and aging analysis
• Open-to-buy and inventory weeks of supply
• Clienteling or demand signals if available
• Integration with POS, ERP, and e-commerce data

Practical recommendation

If you are a luxury retailer and need something robust but retail-specific, start with:

• Oracle Retail Assortment Planning if you want a more traditional enterprise retail planning suite
• RELEX if your priority is better predictive sell-through and allocation
• Anaplan if you need a customizable planning environment for boutique-level nuances

If you want, I can also give you:

• a shortlist by company size/budget
• a feature comparison table
• or a recommended stack for luxury boutiques depending on whether you use SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or something else.
