Different Day for Westman Atelier

Prepared for Westman Atelier leadership, October 2026. Prototype review.

Planning that starts on Monday, not at month close.

Retail-to-Demand Intelligence turns the weekly Sephora and Westman.com sales files into a demand plan the planning team can check and trust.

Today, six points of friction. With the solution, one loop.

Switch views, then select any step to see what happens there.

What the solution does for the business

Four capabilities, each built on the one before it, all from the same data.

Collect

One sales table

Every retailer file lands in one place, by product, retailer, and week.

Business gain: planners stop assembling data and start reviewing it.

Check

A weekly check

Each product compared with its usual rate of sale, with the biggest changes explained and scored for confidence.

Business gain: changes are seen in the week they happen, before the next order.

Plan

A plan built by product

A 12-month retail plan built from each product's own history, then shown next to the top-line plan from Sales.

Business gain: Sales and Planning agree line by line, from the same numbers.

Reconcile

Both plans side by side

Gross and demand plans in one view. Lines outside the 10% limit are highlighted and explained, and every published plan is scored against what sold.

Business gain: production and financial plans stay aligned, and accuracy improves each cycle.

Before and after, at a glance

Seven planning steps, what changes in each, and what the business gets from it.

What leadership should expect once the solution runs on Westman's own data.

Month closeSame week

Changes in selling are acted on before the next order is placed.

Assembling filesReviewing plans

Planner time moves from combining data to making decisions.

One top-line totalLine by line

Sales and Planning work from the same numbers.

Two workbooksOne view

Gaps against the 10% limit are visible and explained.

Not trackedScored every cycle

Plan accuracy is measured, so it can improve.

These describe what the solution is designed to do, not measured results yet. The plan history built into the solution is how they will be measured.

Next step: share two or three real Sephora weekly files and the current planning workbooks.

The prototype runs on sample data today. With Westman's files, it will show your own columns and products, so the team can judge it on real data.
