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.

Why It Matters

Why Size and Color Matter

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.

  • Stock tracked by style, size and color together.
  • 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.

  • Custom software for the sync gap a generic module leaves.
  • AI-assisted markdown timing as a season ends.

What It Covers

How TCB Infotech Tracks Fashion and Apparel Stock

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.

Season and Markdown

Markdown timing based on sell-through, not a fixed calendar date.

  • Markdown timing based on actual sell-through.
  • Different combinations marked down at different points.
  • Clearance planning tied to real stock data.

Sync and Returns

Store and online stock in sync, returns tracked back to the source.

  • Store and online stock kept in sync.
  • Returns tracked back to style, size and color.
  • Consistent stock numbers across channels.

What's Included

Everything a Fashion Retailer Needs Tracked

Season & Markdown Planning

Markdown timing planned against actual sell-through as a season winds down, not a fixed calendar date.

Store & Online Stock Sync

New Collection Launch Tracking

Track sell-through of a new collection from the first day it lands, by store and online.

Vendor & Production Order Tracking

Track production or vendor orders against what was promised and what actually arrived.

Returns & Exchange Management

Returns and exchanges tracked back to the right style, size and color, whether bought in-store or online.

FAQ

Questions we are asked

What does TCB Infotech do for fashion and apparel retailers?

We connect your existing ERP, build the custom software to sync store and online stock at the style, size and color level, and add AI automation for markdown timing, so stock is tracked at the level your business actually sells.

Does this replace our existing ERP?

No. The system connects to your existing ERP rather than replacing it, so your current stock and order processes stay in place while store and online numbers stay in sync.

Can stock be tracked separately by size and color, not just by style?

Yes. Stock is tracked at the style, size and color level, so a specific combination running low can be flagged and replenished without waiting for the whole style to look low.

How long does a fashion and apparel engagement usually take?

Most engagements move from mapping your current stock and channel workflow to a working pilot within a few months, with scope and timeline confirmed after we review your styles, channels and systems.

What happens after the system goes live?

The same team that built the system stays available for support and changes as new seasons, collections or sales channels are added.

Can ERP integration, custom software and AI be combined into one engagement?

Yes. Most fashion and apparel engagements combine ERP integration, a piece of custom software for store and online sync, and AI automation for markdown timing, scoped as one project.
