Fashion planning across seasons and collections
Planning and demand forecasting in fashion is all about building and buying each collection with confidence. Know what to buy, how much, and when - before the season starts. Get key styles in-store faster to capture early demand.
The seasons & collections Module in Hakio’s inventory planning software is designed to bring clarity, structure, and control to collection-based planning. From pre-orders to sell-through, you gain the visibility and automation needed to drive performance season after season.
Embed in your tech stack with seamless integrations
Plan each drop with purpose
See over- and underperforming styles in real time, giving you time to course-correct or activate marketing to move slow movers.
- Channel-level planning lets you split forecasts across DTC, wholesale, marketplaces, or custom sales streams - so your buying decisions match the realities of each channel.
- Use the fashion forecasting configuration tools to adjust timelines, assumptions, or metrics based on your commercial strategy.
- Compare colors, categories, SKUs, and variants across collections with ease - see how this year’s selection stacks up against past performance.
Fashion forecasting with more certainty
New Product Introductions (NPIs) are the heartbeat of most fashion brands, but demand forecasting in fashion is notoriously hard. With Hakio, you get both simple and advanced forecasting tools to meet the challenge.
For brand-new styles, you can set manual NPI forecasts quickly and stay in full control. When you need deeper insight, the software uses machine learning algorithms and artificial neural networks (ANNs) to identify historical matches, factoring in category, price point, seasonal patterns, and demand signals to suggest realistic expectations.
Hakio also enables you to simulate multiple collection scenarios, helping you explore different launch strategies and understand potential risks.
Fashion planning across ERP systems
You no longer need to spend hours setting up assortments. Seamlessly integrated with your ERP systems, Hakio automatically detects and configures collections, drops, and sub-collections, along with pre-order and sell-out periods, and tracks both active and archived styles.
Our automatic collection setup ensures you always have the right structure and timelines in place, ready to forecast, monitor, and act on. Turning complex fashion planning into clear, actionable workflows - across all collections.
Align sell-in and sell-out
The fashion forecasting and planning module also helps you manage your collection lifecycle end-to-end. With tools to monitor both sell-in and sell-out, you can:
- Forecast the remainder of pre-orders, so you can initiate early production with confidence.
- Monitor sell-through rates across channels and identify opportunities for top-ups before products run dry.
Get replenishment suggestions and stock health alerts during the season, not just after it ends.
Identify tomorrow’s core items today
Some products deserve a longer shelf life. Our platform surfaces NooS (Never out of Stock) candidates based on performance signals, stability, and demand variation at the SKU level, enabling you to turn seasonal success into long-term availability.
You can filter products by consistent sales behavior, frequency of stockouts, and how often they’ve needed replenishment to pinpoint items with long-term potential. Once identified, Hakio lets you mark and manage NooS items directly within your existing collection workflows.
By embedding NooS decisions into your core fashion planning and forecasting cycle, Hakio helps you strike the right balance between agility and stability.
Track performance and learn from every season
Hakio is a tool for planning the next collection, but it also allows you to learn from the last one.
- Compare sell-in and sell-out data across collections
- Monitor customer-level performance
- Track how product trims, sizes, and colorways impacted outcomes
- Use that insight to inform future forecasts, margin planning, and SKU optimization
You can even backtest your fashion forecasts, comparing predicted performance to actuals, helping you refine accuracy over time.
Connect teams and reduce bottlenecks
With Hakio’s Fashion Module, you gain precision and ensure alignment across teams by turning scattered insights into shared, data-backed decisions that everyone can act on.
Season-specific workflows become smoother as you assign tasks, track deadlines, and manage collaboration in one centralized platform. Sales, merchandising, and production teams work from the same real-time insights.
Instead of planning in silos, Hakio helps you unite every team around one shared source of inventory and fashion planning truth.
