Luxury and fashion planning runs on a rhythm most EPM platforms were never designed for. Collections launch on fixed dates that do not move, assortments fragment across multi-market currencies and price ladders, and global consolidation has to reconcile a maison's worth of local nuance into one group view - often on a monthly close calendar that leaves no room for a platform that fights the process. Our work is to build EPM, data and software platforms around that rhythm, so the season drives the tool instead of the tool dictating the season.
Our added value
We combine Anaplan and Pigment expertise with a working understanding of how a luxury or fashion house actually plans - open-to-buy by market and category, multi-currency consolidation down to the brand P&L, and a merchandising calendar built around drops and lines rather than a generic monthly cycle. Three of our consultants hold Anaplan's Certified Master Anaplanner distinction, the platform's highest individual certification, and bring it to bear on the part of luxury planning that is genuinely hard: multi-market, multi-currency models that still close in days, not weeks.
Our convictions for your luxury & fashion project
- A seasonal calendar is a planning constraint, not an afterthought - the model has to be built around drop dates and buy windows, not adapted to them after go-live.
- Multi-market consolidation is a currency and hierarchy problem before it is a reporting problem - get the FX and brand structure right in the model, and consolidation stops being a monthly fire drill.
- Assortment decisions belong close to the market: a global collection plan that ignores local sell-through produces beautiful buy plans that do not sell.
- Brand coherence and commercial performance are usually framed as a trade-off. In a well-built model, they are the same view.
Our luxury & fashion expertise domains
Seasonal & collection planning - Model the season around real drop dates and buy windows, cascading collection ambition into category and market-level plans that buyers can act on.
Multi-market assortment - Build assortments that flex by market and channel while staying coherent with the global collection plan and brand guidelines.
Global consolidation - Multi-currency, multi-entity consolidation that closes on a schedule that matches how the group actually reports, not how the tool prefers to.
EPM & data foundations - Connect planning to the product, price and sell-through data your teams already trust, so decisions are made on one version of the truth across markets.
