PLANNING TRANSFORMED: HOW HAWES & CURTIS ELEVATED SALES AND STOCK VISIBILITY
Heritage menswear brand Hawes & Curtis had outgrown their Excel-based planning setup, with stock intake and weekly performance becoming increasingly difficult to track as the business grew. The goal was to implement a tailored MFP and WSSI solution on board, delivering real-time insight, a consistent planning process, and intuitive dashboards to replace their reliance on spreadsheets.
They've all worked in the industry as well, so they've got that great level of detail.
Hawes & Curtis needed a centralised platform to bring structure and visibility to their sales and stock planning. Their existing Excel-based approach was limiting agility as the business scaled, making it harder to track weekly performance and stock intake with confidence. The project focused on implementing a robust MFP and WSSI framework, alongside week-by-week reporting dashboards, with a deliberately lightweight and collaborative delivery approach that kept the team engaged and the solution grounded in their day-to-day reality.

The clothing division alone has hundreds of thousands of SKUs, making inventory management extremely complex. Efficiently managing the flow of goods therefore requires a highly flexible and reliable processes and software. With Board and bdg, Sainsbury found the ideal solution to optimise inventory management.
British multi-channel men’s clothing retailer, Charles Tyrwhitt had been using Board software for several years, but their existing solution had become outdated, complex, and slow due to unused elements. The goal for the project was to simplify the existing Board solution and align with updated processes, enhance speed, flexibility, and capabilities by utilising Board’s retail accelerators, ie pre-configured solutions.
bdg enhanced the performance of a British fashion retailer’s system in Board (version 10) by optimising RAM usage and stabilising their server. The project, completed in just four days, significantly reduced system crashes and downtime, resulting in a more efficient and reliable operational environment.
