Who uses Merchant Pro

Built for every role in the merchandising chain.

Merchant Pro serves four distinct roles — each with their own view, access level, and workflow. Here is how each one benefits.

Merchandiser

Managing 40 styles in 11 Excel files is not a strategy.

You copy colorways from the tech pack to the BOM. You copy consumption from the BOM to the tracker. You copy order quantities from the PO to the tracker. One wrong paste and the entire document chain is wrong. And you only find out at ex-factory.

3–4 hours building a BOM from scratch each time
17 RM items × 11 colorways = 187 cells to copy manually
No formula check — errors discovered at ex-factory
Version confusion when multiple people edit the same file
With Merchant Pro

Upload the tech pack. Review the AI output. Move on.

  • BOM draft in < 30 seconds after tech pack upload
  • Consumption values highlighted — you only fill what's missing
  • All 187 cells auto-calculated from confirmed data
  • PO quantities extracted automatically from PDF
  • RM Tracker assembles itself — no copy-paste ever

Factory Manager

Stop opening 40 style files every morning. See everything on one screen.

Your merchandising team works on individual styles. You need the season-level view: which styles are complete, which are at risk, and which need immediate attention. Merchant Pro gives you that without asking your team to send status updates.

  • Season dashboard shows every style's pipeline status
  • CRITICAL badge on styles with < 7 days to ex-factory
  • AT RISK badge on styles with < 14 days
  • Pipeline completion percentage at a glance
  • Full audit trail — know who changed what and when
Buyer Liaison

Buyers demand organised documentation. Your shared drive is not organised.

Every buyer audit starts with document requests: show me the BOM, show me the cost sheet, show me the latest RM tracker. You spend hours searching email threads and shared drives to find the right version of the right file for the right style.

BOM v1, v2, v3 across multiple email threads
Wrong version sent to buyer — costly corrections
No quick way to filter by style, season, or document type
Audit prep takes hours instead of minutes
With Merchant Pro

Every document. Every version. Always findable.

  • Document Library stores all 8 document types per style
  • Filter by type: BOM, Cost Sheet, RM Tracker, Tech Pack
  • All versions retained — download any revision on demand
  • Buyer-ready Excel exports, no reformatting needed
  • Role-based access — only authorised users can download
