The right markdown, at the right time, on the right SKU.
Markdown timing is the single biggest margin lever in seasonal retail — and the one that breaks spreadsheets fastest. Retailgrid plans, triggers, and executes markdown waves with the math visible at every step.
A week late costs more than a week early.
In seasonal retail, the markdown cadence is the margin strategy. Wait too long and you carry inventory to clearance. Move too early and you give away margin that customers would have paid full price for. Spreadsheets can't model this — they can barely track it.
Triggered, planned, and executed in one workspace.
Three capabilities that turn markdown timing from a guessing game into a structured workflow.
From end-of-season panic to in-season discipline.
The fastest fashion and seasonal retailers run their first Retailgrid-planned markdown wave within two weeks of kickoff.
Plan the season's waves
Define the markdown calendar at the category level. Set sell-through and days-on-shelf triggers. Configure depth and channel logic.
Trigger and review
Triggers fire automatically as the season runs. Retailgrid surfaces the SKUs that need markdown and shows the margin math. Your team reviews and adjusts.
Execute with audit trail
Approved waves push to stores and channels in one step. Every markdown traces back to the trigger and the approval. CFO-ready audit history.
