Take the following tour of THE OTB BOOK. By looking at each screen you will see how your information will develop into a buying plan that will enable you to achieve the highest possible sales with the correct amount of inventory. This will result in higher turns, reduced markdowns and increased cash flow. Everything about using open-to-buy planning is positive and THE OTB BOOK is the easy way to have all of the benefits. Call with your questions as you view the site. |
"You can't argue with the numbers, and I have seen a decrease in inventory and an increase in
my profit margins. I would certainly recommend the system to anyone. Thanks for developing
such a great program."

"I was at first concerned that the program would not be able to handle an open-to-buy for our
23 stores and mail order business. THE OTB BOOK proves that the elementary foundations of
a solid open-to-buy program can be extended to support a larger multi-store operation like
ourselves. Thanks also for the support whenever I had a question."

"I have been using THE OTB BOOK for about eight years. It is a very effective way to gain a

"I have been using THE OTB BOOK for about six months and have found that it is helping me
control my inventory and purchase of merchandise to a greater extent than any previous method
we have used. THE OTB BOOK enables good control without spending a great deal of time
tracking information."

"The price of your system is a steal compared to making just one wrong buying
decision. We have been using the OTB book for over 10 years. Our
4,200 sq foot store has been able to achieve 5 turns plus every year since the
implementation of your system. Our inventory is cleaner, meaner and more
productive. Thank you for the great system."

growth. In fact, it works so well that we now have five more of our stores on the system and plan
to put our remaining stores on this year."

My accountant called while doing our
books yesterday and asked why our Gross Margin had gone from 37% to 44% in
the third quarter. Told him we were buying inventory much tighter and selling
what we bought for regular price instead of on sale all the time. He told me to
keep doing what I was doing! He said most retailers he works with hardly reach
40%. Thanks to your program and your help, in the few months we have been
using your program it obviously has improved our bottom line dramatically.
I look forward to using it from now on and increasing our profits."
