MerchandiseIQ by Stridegrid

Retail planning clarity before a full platform rollout.

Stridegrid helps merchandising teams find stock risk, OTB gaps, markdown opportunities, reorder needs, and store-size imbalance from the files they already use.

Excel-first onboarding One category to start No ERP dependency for pilot
Product

MerchandiseIQ turns messy retail data into decisions.

The product is built for buying and planning teams that have outgrown spreadsheets, but are not ready to wait months for an enterprise implementation.

Data readiness

Upload the MerchandiseIQ workbook or existing Excel exports. The diagnostic checks required sheets, missing fields, and formula readiness.

Week 1

Planning intelligence

Review OTB, receipts, demand forecast, inventory cover, markdown candidates, store clusters, and size allocation in one workspace.

Week 2

Action files

Convert signals into reorder, markdown, transfer, and allocation files with article, store, size, quantity, owner, and due date.

Week 3

Executive diagnostic

Export a client-ready report that summarizes health score, top risks, top actions, OTB opportunities, and rollout recommendation.

Week 4
30-day pilot

Start with one category. Prove value before platform change.

We keep the first engagement narrow: one category, one data template, two or three review calls, and a final opportunity report.
