Contexte & défis

Reconciling team processes to create end-to-end planning

Implementing an organisational, calendar and budgetary roadmap for the cross-functional planning project

The Maison embarked on an ambitious transformation to structure its planning processes and tools. A high sell-through ambition that was difficult to achieve, recurring overstock and uneven stock distribution across the network led Eres to rethink its methods. Since 2021, OneHive has been supporting Eres through a multi-project roadmap covering Finance, Merchandising and Supply Chain.

The first workstream focused on store replenishment and in-season stock rebalancing. Building on these early results, projects followed in succession:

  • Calculating carry-over production requirements,
  • Managing the Buying Tool and Open To Buy,
  • Improving sales forecast accuracy and building the Best Estimate

A connected Anaplan ecosystem, built progressively over five years.

Anticipate seasonal demand and secures its collection launches

From forecasting to replenishment: managing product cycles from showroom launch to end of life

Eres manages its seasonal cycles with precision:

  • Scoping material and component requirements,
  • Modelling sales forecasts from the moment the showroom launches,
  • Order splitting scenarios and replenishment strategy.

Forecasts are adjustable through to end of product life and are based on sales patterns drawn from historical data, assigned to new references according to their characteristics. A structured framework to secure launches, smooth production and guarantee store availability throughout the year.

Rationalise its buying in the face of sizing complexity in lingerie and swimwear

A structured Buying Tool to balance luxury standards, size grids and buying consistency

In the lingerie and swimwear world, size proliferation is a structural challenge. The Buying Tool deployed at Eres addresses this complexity through four key features:

  • Top/bottom mapping to ensure assortment consistency,
  • Size grid management by reference,
  • Store clustering by sales profile, and volume consistency control in a small-batch environment.

Buyers focus on product strategy. Consolidation calculations are handled by the tool.

Eres aligne Finance, Merchandising et Retail autour d’un Best Estimate multidimensionnel

Budget breakdown by category and multi-axis reconciliation for a shared view

The Best Estimate at Eres is based on a detailed breakdown of the store revenue budget: by product category and by typology (carry-over, seasonal, markdowns). Multi-dimensional reconciliation aligns the Retail, Finance and Merchandising perspectives. Carry-over forecasts are integrated in real time to refine trajectories. This approach reduces gaps between plans and gives each team a consistent view of expected performance.
