This one is for the founder who pulls a report at the start of the month, flags a few things, and then gets pulled right back into the daily fire.

That’s not a monthly demand and inventory review. That’s inventory anxiety dressed up as a process.

We’ve seen it a bunch. The numbers get looked at but not actually worked through — and by the time a problem compounds, the window to act cheaply has already closed.

We published a step-by-step walkthrough of how to run a monthly demand and inventory review that actually moves your business forward. Sequence matters more than most people realize, and we get into exactly why.

You might have a SKU vampire on your hands. 🧛

It’s draining your cash flow and it didn’t even have the decency to ask first.

Here’s the thing: a lot of brands rank SKUs by units sold. Highest units = best performer, right? Nope. That’s the wrong way to frame it.

Unit velocity tells you what’s moving. It doesn’t necessarily tell you what’s working. Dig a little deeper.

Run the velocity-to-cash audit instead — aka value-based productivity. Rank your SKUs by cash tied up per unit sold, per week.

Here’s what that actually looks like:
Your fashion colorway sells 50 units/week and holds $30K in inventory. Your hero color sells 200 units/week and holds $45K in inventory.

Your hero color is 1.5x the inventory, 4x the velocity, and roughly 40% more cash-efficient. It’s not even close.

The smartest brands double down on proven bestsellers and cut back on slow movers before they become costly deadstock — the kind that eats shelf space, ties up capital, and quietly haunts your P&L.

Do the value-based productivity audit. Get a real look at SKU profitability.

You worked your face off to land that retailer. Don’t let the inventory piece be the thing that trips you up.

Here’s what most brands don’t realize until they’re in it: planning inventory for a national retailer is nothing like planning for your own store or website. They have their own forecast, their own flow requirements, their own replenishment timeline — built around their goals. You have to work backward from all of that and still make sure your numbers actually work for your business.

And you’ve gotta get it right because the cost is all yours.

This is one of the most common places we see brands stumble during what should be a massive growth moment. So it’s become one of the things we’re really good at. In the last year we’ve helped more than 7 brands navigate exactly this — building demand and inventory plans that hold up to the reality of what national retail actually requires.

If your brand is in this transition right now, or about to be, we’re the people you want in your corner before the first purchase order hits.

Most scaling brands aren’t struggling with inventory because they lack data.

They know open-to-buy. They track sell-through and weeks of supply. They even forecast at the SKU level. (That’s so much detail) Often, they even have dedicated planning support.

And inventory still feels like it’s one step ahead of them.

The gap is often structural.

Forecasting, OTB, KPI reviews, and channel-level planning might all exist. But if they’re not connected into a single process that runs consistently it’s easy to feel like your inventory is running you.

In this week’s newsletter, we break down what a fully functioning inventory planning process actually looks like — the weekly reviews, monthly reconciliations, and seasonal planning cycles that keep everything aligned — and why maintaining that rhythm is the thing scaling brands are often missing.

If your inventory planning has all the right pieces but still isn’t clicking, this one’s worth the read.

We’re thrilled to officially announce that Nicole Zerkle has been promoted to Director of Client Delivery at Boon. (Plus it’s her anniversary at Boon too!) 🥳

If you know Nicole, you’re nodding right now. If you don’t — here’s what you need to know: 20+ years of retail experience across The Limited, American Eagle, and Bath & Body Works. She came to Boon already fluent in the language most brands are still trying to learn — the data, the strategy, and the care that has to sit behind all of it.

Her new role puts her at the center of something we care deeply about: making sure every tool, forecast, and process we deliver actually lands for the brands we serve. Clear communication. Intentional delivery. No mystery spreadsheets, no “what did they mean by this?” emails at 11pm.

That’s the heartbeat of client delivery — and Nicole has been keeping that rhythm since day one.

We don’t just hire experts at Boon. We grow them. And Nicole stepping into this role feels exactly right.

Congratulations, Nicole. Cheers to you. 🥂

We just signed a new client. And we could not be more here for it.

A fast-growing, product-based beauty brand came to us with a very specific ask: step in as their full-time demand planning team while they search for the right permanent hire.

We’re providing embedded demand planning support — until their team is whole again.

Finding the right demand planner takes time. A great one doesn’t just run the numbers — they understand your channels, your suppliers, your seasonality, (and probably your founder’s nervous system.)

So while they find their person, we’re theirs.

We’re managing the forecasts and making sure the right products are in the right places at the right times.

This is exactly what we built Boon to do. Some brands need one piece of the planning process supported. Some need the whole operation. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all structure because inventory complexity doesn’t work that way, and neither do growing brands.

If your demand planning seat is empty — whether it’s a leave, a transition, a gap, or you’ve simply outgrown what your current setup can handle — that’s not a crisis. That’s a Boon situation.

We keep the operation running while you make the right long-term call.

This month, we’re celebrating two people who make Boon what it is: Lauren is hitting her 5-year mark, and Abbie is celebrating 4 years — joined exactly one year apart, to the day. Coincidence? We prefer to call it fate. 😆

Abbie joined in June 2022, bringing 22+ years of retail planning experience across national retailers, department stores, major apparel brands, and start-ups — including Gap Inc., Athleta, FabKids, Cora, and Amazon. She is, in short, a planning encyclopedia with a personality. Her love of process and team-building has made her an invaluable part of what we do and how we grow.

Lauren came to Boon in June 2021 with serious inventory planning credentials, a clothing design background, and the rare ability to make data feel like a story worth reading. As our Director of Marketing, she’s the reason Boon looks and sounds like itself — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Together, they represent the kind of expertise Boon was built to deliver: accessible, human, high-caliber, and deeply embedded in the work. The 200+ years of collective experience on this team didn’t happen by accident — it happened because we sought out people like Lauren and Abbie.

We’re grateful you’re both here. Here’s to many more years of doing great work together. 🥂

Some days they’re on your lap. Some days they’ve got their own agenda. (Honestly? Option 2 might be harder. 😅)

No matter what — the forecast gets built, the open-to-buy gets run, the client gets taken care of.

Boon was founded and run by (mostly) moms, and we built it that way on purpose. Turns out flexibility, agility, and pressure-tested problem-solving work just as well in demand planning as they do in parenting. Who knew? (Probably a mom.)

To every WFH parent grinding it out this week — we see you. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and mother figures doing both like a boss. 🙌

We’ll be over here: forecasting demand, managing inventory for product brands, and absolutely pretending we heard what our kid just said. Built for all of it. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Cheering you on, Mom!

POV: your demand planning model handles every SKU, every channel, DTC + marketplace + wholesale… and your team actually likes using it. 🫶

No, it’s not a vibe check gone right by accident. That’s just Boon doing what Boon does.

We built a fully custom demand planning model for an oral care brand with a seriously SKU-heavy assortment across three channels. One model. All the chaos, absorbed. Zero panic spirals.

Here’s what their team had to say:
“I can’t thank Boon enough for such an amazing model. It was super clear, easy to use, and built with incredible business and formula logic.”
And our personal fave :”You make it really easy on us to update this report and roll it to the next year!”

Rolling to next year should NOT feel like a root canal. We built models your team can actually pick up, trust, and run with — because enterprise-level demand planning logic doesn’t have to come with an enterprise-level headache.

Multi-channel inventory allocation. Forecast accuracy. SKU rationalization. We eat this for breakfast — for brands that have fully outgrown the spreadsheet they’ve been white-knuckling since year one.

If your planning process has more duct tape than data logic, the link in bio is right there. 👆

Most inventory problems don’t actually start with inventory.

They start earlier—
in how demand is (or isn’t) being planned.

We see this pattern across growing product brands:

• Bestsellers go out of stock
• Slower products quietly build
• Cash feels tighter than it should

On the surface, it looks like an inventory issue.
But more often, it’s a disconnect between demand planning and inventory planning.

These two functions are closely related—but they’re not the same.
And when they’re blended together, decisions become reactive instead of structured.

In this week’s newsletter, we break down:

→ what demand planning vs. inventory planning actually mean
→ where they tend to break down as brands grow
→ and how connecting them creates more control (without adding complexity)

If your inventory has been feeling harder to manage than it should, this is a good place to start.
