Clear the season without the margin surprise

Clearance on the same demand model that sets everyday price — not a bolted-on tool. Forecast-led schedules that hit the sell-through date by design, and give away only the margin they have to.

The problem

Bolted-on clearance tools guess at elasticity the pricing team already knows

of merchants spend 10+ hours a week on manual pricing and promotion work

90%+

forecast accuracy — the same model that sets everyday price, projecting clearance

A clearance tool that lives apart from pricing re-estimates elasticity from scratch, cuts on a fixed cadence, and delivers the margin news after the season ends. When markdown runs on the same demand model as base price, the first cut is priced like the pricing decision it actually is. Markdown is native to the model, not bolted on.

Category teams keep getting smaller while the lever count grows. One shared workspace across pricing, promotions, and markdown — built against a single demand model — is designed to collapse the manual scenario work into a single goal-based planning conversation.

The promise

The first markdown is a pricing decision, because it is one

Base price, promotion, and markdown are three views of one forecast — not three products bolted together. The model that sets everyday price is the model that clears the season, so clearance inherits the elasticity your pricing team already trusts and the rules that protect the category’s price image.

What’s in the module

Schedule, rules, and proof — on one forecast

Three capabilities, one workspace, one forecast — from the first cut to the post-evaluation that starts next season smarter.

Forecast-led markdown schedules

The demand model projects how each step will sell, so the schedule takes the depth the sell-through date requires — and no more.

Dynamic Rules & Constraints

The same rule engine that governs base price governs clearance — price endings, minimum margins, and step logic enforced on every markdown across 40+ rule types.

Revenue Intelligence & Post-Evaluation

Every clearance event evaluated after the fact — recovery achieved vs. modeled — so next season's schedule starts smarter.

How the schedule works

Each step earns its depth

A markdown schedule is a sequence of pricing decisions under a deadline. The forecast projects sell-through at each step, so the schedule holds shallow while it can and cuts deeper only when the date demands it.

Sell-through without margin surprise — that is the whole job.

Sell-through on time

The forecast projects each step, so the schedule reaches the target date without a last-week fire sale.

No margin surprise

Recovery is modeled before the season ends and evaluated after it — no end-of-season write-down nobody saw coming.

Protected price image

Clearance runs inside the same rules as everyday price, so it never undercuts the category's standing.

Smarter every season

Post-evaluation compares recovery achieved vs. modeled, so next season's schedule starts from evidence, not nerve.

Part of Revenue Optimization

The third lever, on the same model as the other two

Markdowns ships as part of Revenue Optimization, so clearance never fights the base price or the promo calendar — all three run on one demand model, in one workflow.
