Grace explains the forecasting cadence that stabilized Harborline's inventory through peak.
The Harborline Inventory Cadence
The Problem They Solved
Every peak season ended with stockouts on winners and markdowns on everything else.
The Framework They Built
A rolling 13-week forecast cadence with SKU tiers and a fixed reorder rule per tier.
Key Systems & Processes
Weekly forecast review, tier reassignment every quarter, and a written markdown trigger.
Results & Outcomes
Fill rate held at 98% across three peaks and markdown volume fell by 41%.
Pull quotes
"Forecasting is a habit, not a spreadsheet."
"Tier the SKUs or the SKUs will tier you."
