Buyerplan Range Buyer


‘From concept to contract’, Buyerplan Range Buyer is designed to support all aspects of the design and buying process. Range Buyer has been developed ‘by Buyers for Buyers’ with the direct input of the Per Una buying team. As a result, George Davies’ company has declared it a ‘mission critical’ system.
Range Buyer provides a single visible repository for the widely varied information that is required as a line moves from design through selection to production. From cost details to images, from fabric details to packaging and labels, from design packs to critical path dates, Range Buyer covers them all. The powerful sorting and filtering of data on all attributes means that the most demanding requests for range and progress information can be met. Specifically the combination of visual and data-based range plan reports by product type or collection / story, provides flexible and time saving support for vital selection meetings. A particular strength is its ability to bring together the central role of range creation with the often separate tasks of managing fabric, packaging and progress. This, along with easy interaction with suppliers, makes it a must for a controlled and efficient buying operation.
