Drivepoint models your business at the style, the size run, and the season, so you can buy the right depth, fund the right drop, and protect margin through every return, markdown and freight swing.
Drivepoint is built around the levers an apparel CFO actually pulls: size curves, returns, inventory, and channel.
Every style breaks down by color and size, with sell-through and stockout risk per SKU. Reorder the sizes that move; stop over-buying the tails.
Returns, RAs and markdown cadence wired into a true gross-margin view. Know the real take on a drop after season-end clearance, before you place the buy.
Tie buy depth to demand, lead times and the air-vs-ocean freight call. See the working capital locked in inventory across the whole season.
Margin and demand modeled per channel: DTC full-price, Amazon, and wholesale with chargebacks and markdowns. One pack regenerates the line review every season.
Drop-in models for Walmart, Target and Costco, wired to the way each retailer actually buys and reports.
What finance and operations teams at apparel and hardgoods brands ask before moving to Drivepoint.
Drivepoint forecasts at the style-color-size level, not the category or style rollup. Each size carries its own sell-through rate and stockout risk, so the model flags tail sizes before you over-buy them again. Size-curve analogs from prior seasons seed new style forecasts, and actuals retune the curve as sell-through data comes in throughout the season.
Yes. Returns, return authorizations, and markdown cadence are wired into the gross margin calculation, not treated as a separate line item reviewed after the season closes. You see the real take on a drop after season-end clearance before you place the buy, so the buy decision reflects actual expected margin rather than best-case sell-through. VKTRY used this kind of retention and margin clarity to make decisions with conviction.
Drivepoint builds the air-versus-ocean freight trade-off directly into the model for each style. You enter lead times, current demand forecast, and in-transit inventory, and the model shows the margin cost of expedited freight against the stockout risk of going ocean. Apparel brands use this to make the freight call with a number rather than a gut check.
Yes. Wholesale chargebacks, markdowns, and retailer-specific deductions are modeled per channel. DTC full-price, Amazon, and wholesale all carry separate P&Ls so you can see true channel contribution after every fee and deduction. Line review packs for each retail partner regenerate automatically each season, which is how Ibex keeps a complete view of past, present, and future in one place.
Most apparel and hardgoods brands are fully connected and running live models within two to four weeks. Drivepoint integrates with Shopify, NetSuite, QuickBooks, and most 3PLs out of the box. The onboarding process maps your size curves and channel structure into the model, so you are not building from scratch.
