Problem
Retail merchandising and accounts payable teams rely on manual spreadsheets to track open-to-buy (OTB) budgets, purchase orders, receipts, and vendor invoices. This fragmented process is error-prone, time-consuming, and fails to surface financial risk early, leaving teams reactive instead of strategic.
Solution
Thimble's AI suite automates OTB planning, forecasting, and vendor workflows by ingesting live PO changes, receipts, and discrepancies from ERPs, PDFs, and spreadsheets. Its Thimble Plan module recalculates OTB remaining in real time, while Thimble Forecast builds forward projections from historical performance and adjusts instantly when plan inputs change. Thimble Track unifies reporting with an ERP-synced source of truth, giving merchandising, finance, and executive teams one shared view to mitigate risk before it materializes.
Target Audience
Retail merchandising, finance, and accounts payable teams at mid-to-large retailers who need to modernize OTB planning, invoice matching, and vendor follow-up workflows.
