Strengthen decisions with Hakio’s inventory planning software
Move from isolated spreadsheets to aligned decisions
“If X quits, we’re screwed”.
This is a familiar risk in many fashion companies, because planning knowledge lives in complex, highly personalized spreadsheets - often understood only by the person who built them.
And while these systems can work well for small teams or stable operations, they pose serious risks when growth kicks in. Because the danger is that, without a shared source of truth, collaboration across departments suffers - alignment breaks down and teams end up working in silos.
Worse yet, errors or inconsistencies often go unnoticed until they’ve already impacted performance, whether through missed sales, poor replenishment, or delayed reactions to market shifts.
Align strategies and workflows around a single source of truth
Manual systems aren’t built for collaboration. They’re hard to maintain, even harder to share, and usually impossible for people outside the planning team to interpret.
That means sales, marketing, and operations often rely on second-hand summaries - or worse, guesswork.
Hakio makes insight accessible across the organization. Our platform gives every department a window into what matters:
- Sales teams see what’s available and what’s about to run low.
- Marketing can identify slow movers early and act in time.
- Leadership can compare plans to the budget and adjust the strategy.
Streamlined data makes it easier to welcome new team members
Bringing in new talent is essential to growth, but in manual, spreadsheet-heavy environments, new hires often struggle to catch up. Without a clear view of historical data, trends, or the reasoning behind past decisions, they’re left navigating gut-feel logic built by someone else.
Hakio’s supply chain planning software makes it easier to ramp up new team members. It provides a shared, structured foundation where everyone works from the same data, sees the same signals, and understands the planning logic.
This dramatically reduces onboarding time, minimizes costly mistakes, and ensures new hires can contribute faster - with confidence.
Siloed knowledge slows the company down. Hakio changes that.
In fashion, success often relies on instinct and experience. And rightfully so - the fashion team’s deep knowledge of trends, customers, and product behavior is invaluable.
But as the brand scales, so does complexity. Making it even harder to make the right decisions.
With Hakio’s inventory planning software, every team's expertise is amplified. Our platform transforms it into shared, data-driven insight that’s easy to access, use, and act on across the entire organization.
This way, the brand and company is not dependent on one person’s memory, spreadsheet, or decision-making.
You're in great company with leading fashion brands
Retain talent by reducing manual burden
Planners are some of the most valuable people in fashion companies. But too often, they spend their time updating Excel, fixing broken formulas, or trying to keep up with changing data.
And that’s both exhausting and demotivating.
Hakio automates the manual overhead and gives planners more space to focus on strategic decision-making, scenario planning, and growth. That’s how experienced team members stay engaged, while new ones are guaranteed to ramp up faster.
In the current setup, many decisions are made without fully up-to-date or comprehensive data. And it’s not a reflection of either the leader or team’s expertise; it’s a limitation of the right tools.
With our demand forecasting software, the gut feeling isn’t excluded - it just gets better. We either challenge or support intuition with live data, clear recommendations, and historical patterns.
Confidence, knowledge, and results. Now, that’s motivating
When the planner is challenged by leadership or navigating tough decisions, they’ve got numbers and solid data to back up their previous decisions - and learn from it:
- Real-time data.
- Granular forecasts at SKU, size, colorway, and regional level.
- Clear alignment between bottom-up forecasts and top-down budgets.
- Live insights into stock levels, sell-through rates, and incoming deliveries.
- Visible tracking of lead times and order minimums.
- Back-tests of the forecasts to show what worked, what didn’t, and why.
Now, that’s motivating. For both leaders and planners.
