Understand the economics of every style before the season decides for you.

Optifi connects fibre, yarn, fabric, dyeing, cut-and-sew, sourcing, inventory, markdown and returns to reveal net profitability by style, range and channel.

Management signalAttribute-level SKU cost
01The management question
What distorts margin

Which styles and sourcing routes will recover their full lifecycle cost?

A single design can explode into hundreds of size, colour, material and pack combinations. Alternate internal and outsourced routes, duties, lead times, markdowns and returns make average style cost unreliable.

02What matters to leadership
The economics management must see

Focus the model on the decisions that determine profit.

01

Attribute complexity

What matters

Size, colour, fabric, trim and packaging options create thousands of cost combinations that cannot be maintained reliably in spreadsheets.

How Optifi helps

Optifi uses product attributes and rules to calculate detailed SKU cost without requiring a separate manual model for every variant.

02

Route and source choice

What matters

Internal production, contract manufacturing, offshore sourcing and nearshoring carry different labour, duty, freight, lead-time and risk economics.

How Optifi helps

Optifi compares valid source and route combinations on a common landed-cost and margin basis.

03

Season and inventory

What matters

Lead times and demand uncertainty create excess stock, stock-outs, transfers and markdowns that determine the final economics of a range.

How Optifi helps

Optifi connects inventory and markdown outcomes to style and season profitability and supports demand, buy and mix scenarios.

04

Returns and channel

What matters

E-commerce returns, reverse logistics and channel-specific fulfilment can materially reduce the net contribution of attractive styles.

How Optifi helps

Optifi assigns return and fulfilment activity to products, customers and channels to show net profit after service.

03Automated profitability process
One governed model

Follow cost from fibre and source to net range profit.

Stratic configures Optifi to automate product, sourcing, manufacturing, inventory, sales and returns data. Attribute-driven costing calculates each valid SKU and route while preserving profitability by style, season, source, customer and channel.
