Retalon Store Planning review
A broad planning suite for retailers coordinating localized assortments across channels and stores.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Retalon Store Planning helps retailers plan and optimize assortments across channels, store clusters, individual locations, and SKUs. Its AI recommendations and demand forecasting are designed for complex, medium-sized, and large retail organizations that need localized planning rather than one assortment applied across every store. Planning can incorporate seasonality, demographics, price elasticity, events, and competitors, giving merchandising teams several inputs for store-level decisions.
The product’s scope extends beyond assortment recommendations. Retailers can create independent department and store plans, reconcile planning data, mark exceptions, generate optimized purchase orders, and manage open-to-buy budgets within Retalon’s unified planning suite. Scenario-based allocation planning supports comparison of different allocation approaches, while the published capabilities also cover size and color planning, location planning, seasonal planning, and channel planning. Pricing is handled through contact with sales rather than a self-service plan structure, so evaluation is oriented toward organizations considering a broader planning engagement.
Platform fit is a central consideration. Retalon Store Planning is available through the web and API, and it integrates with ERP systems, OMS platforms, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce, and homegrown software. Retalon has been operating since 2002 and positions Store Planning within a wider platform that includes merchandise, assortment, financial, and open-to-buy planning. Retailers seeking connected store and channel planning with AI-supported forecasting should consider it; teams looking only for a focused, lightweight assortment tool may prefer a narrower product.
