How the best teams plan on Tightly.
Playbooks and patterns from teams planning on the signal — what to forecast, when to re-plan, and how to let agents take the repetitive work.
What separates the teams that win
Plan on the signal
Start every plan from an ML forecast learned from live demand across every channel — not last year plus a percent.
One number, every team
Run finance, merchandising and ops off one reconciled plan, so nobody argues about whose number is right.
Act on drift early
Catch a line moving off plan the day it happens, while there's still a buy window to do something about it.
Let agents take the reconciliation
Hand the repetitive reconciliation to agents inside the limits you set, and spend the week on the decisions only you can make.
Set service levels by margin
Protect availability where margin and velocity justify the buffer; let the long tail run leaner instead of carrying it.
Buy to the arc
Buy to the real demand curve — seasons, events, launches — not a smoothed average that leaves you short then long.
Plan with confidence. One set of numbers, every team, every week.
