Inventory and working capital in the plan
Abacum is the finance layer, not assortment or allocation. Plan the P&L and the cost base around the decisions your merchandising system already makes.

Your questions, answered
Answers about planning, onboarding, governance, and more.
Can Abacum model promotions and peak trading?
Yes. Model promotions, markdowns, peak periods and new store openings as scenarios and see the margin impact before you commit, rather than planning on last year plus a percentage.
Can we see margin by store, category and channel?
Yes. Sales, margin and cost can be tracked by location, category and channel, and refresh from your actuals rather than waiting for a store-by-store close.
Do we need to replace our merchandise planning system?
No. Abacum is the finance planning layer above it. We plan the P&L and the cost base around your assortment and allocation decisions rather than making them.
Can Abacum roll up multiple locations and entities?
Abacum rolls up legal entities and translates currency at FX rates you set. To be clear about the boundary: this is a roll-up, not a statutory consolidation engine. Abacum does not calculate intercompany eliminations.
What does Abacum connect to?
Abacum connects to NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Snowflake and BigQuery and pulls actuals continuously, so store performance lands in the model without a manual export.
What does onboarding involve?
Onboarding is designed to help teams establish connected data, core models, and planning workflows around their operating needs. Most teams go live in about 6 weeks. Timeline depends on your data complexity, number of entities, and workflows involved. Our implementation team will scope specifics with you during onboarding.
How does Abacum support governance?
Permissions, shared workflows, and connected models help finance maintain control over sensitive data and planning processes.
