Stock That Splits by Style, Size and Color
A fashion retailer's stock is not one number, it is a grid of style, size and color that changes every season and sells differently in every store and online. TCB Infotech tracks stock at that level, manages markdowns as a season ends, and keeps stores and online drawing from the same numbers.

One Style Can Mean Forty Stock Numbers
One style can mean forty stock numbers, not one
A single style sold in four sizes and three colors is really twelve stock numbers, and a fashion retailer needs to know which size and color combination is running low in which store, not just whether the style overall is in stock. TCB Infotech tracks stock at the style, size and color level so replenishment and markdown decisions are made on the right numbers.
- Stock tracked by style, size and color together.
- Store-level and online stock visible at that same level.
- Markdown decisions based on what is actually not selling.
Store and online stock drawing from the same numbers
Most fashion retailers already run an ERP for stock and a separate system for the online store, and the two rarely agree on what is actually in stock. TCB Infotech connects to your existing ERP, builds the custom software to sync store and online stock at the size and color level, and adds AI where markdown timing is currently a manual guess.
- Store and online stock synced at the size and color level.
- Custom software for the sync gap a generic module leaves.
- AI-assisted markdown timing as a season ends.

Season & Markdown Planning
Markdown timing planned against actual sell-through as a season winds down, not a fixed calendar date.
Store & Online Stock Sync
Store and online stock kept on the same numbers, so a sold-out size online is not shown as available in a store.

How TCB Infotech Tracks Fashion and Apparel Stock
From style, size and color stock to markdown timing and returns. Here is what the system tracks for a fashion and apparel retailer.
Style, Size and Color Tracking, Markdowns and Sync
Stock tracked at the combination level, not the style level
Each style is broken down into its size and color combinations, and stock levels, sales and replenishment targets are tracked at that combination level rather than as one number for the whole style.
- Stock tracked per style, size and color combination.
- Replenishment targeted at the exact combination running low.
- Sell-through visible at the same level.
Markdown timing based on sell-through, not a fixed calendar date
As a season winds down, markdown timing is planned against how each style, size and color combination is actually selling, rather than marking an entire collection down on the same date regardless of what is still moving.
- Markdown timing based on actual sell-through.
- Different combinations marked down at different points.
- Clearance planning tied to real stock data.
Store and online stock in sync, returns tracked back to the source
Store and online stock draw from the same numbers so a size sold out online is not still shown as available in a store, and returns or exchanges are tracked back to the specific style, size and color, whether bought in-store or online.
- Store and online stock kept in sync.
- Returns tracked back to style, size and color.
- Consistent stock numbers across channels.
Everything Included in a Fashion and Apparel Engagement
Style, Size & Color Stock Tracking
Stock, sales and replenishment tracked at the style, size and color combination level across every store and online.
Season & Markdown Planning
Markdown timing planned against real sell-through data for each combination, not a single calendar date for the whole collection.
Store & Online Stock Sync
Store and online stock draw from the same numbers, so what shows as available online matches what is actually on the shelf.
New Collection Launch Tracking
Sell-through of a new collection tracked from launch day by store and channel, to catch fast and slow movers early.
Vendor & Production Order Tracking
Production and vendor orders tracked against what was promised, what shipped and what actually arrived.
Returns & Exchange Management
Returns and exchanges tracked back to the exact style, size and color, whether the purchase happened in-store or online.
