A number of RetailEdge users use RMSA to help analyze their data. RMSA has recently created a utility that will take information exported to Excel from the following RetailEdge reports:

Sales by Category (Grouped by Department)
Receiving by Category (Grouped by Department)
Purchase Orders Summary by Ship Date and Department
Inventory Items by Category (Grouped by Department)

and import it into RMSA's Retail Solutions (Freedom) program.

RMSA's software uses algorithms and related databases to generate forecasts for sales, inventories, markdowns and receipts to help maximize cash flow and improve your retail operations. RMSA creates plans based on store sales patterns, seasonality, turnover potential and receipt flows.

The system receives monthly updates and continuously refreshes each individual forecast and with mid-month updates you can quickly revise your open-to-buy and distribution decisions.
