And i’m trialing EDITED and Heuritech over the next 6 weeks to lock in color/silhouette bets for SS26, buying womenswear for 14 stores in the Southwest. If you’ve compared their sell-through predictions to real POS data, how close were they, and did either help you pick winners beyond the usual mesh/utility carryovers?
I ran both last spring across Southwest doors; Heuritech beat EDITED on newness calls (crochet/eyelet minis with citrus pops landed within about 7–9 pts of 6-week sell-through), while EDITED was stronger on pricing depth. One tip: before your “6 weeks” trial, map vendor colors to a unified palette and weight by door velocity/climate, or EDITED’s national comps will skew your color bets. Are your 14 doors all desert heat, or do you have a couple higher-altitude stores that need longer sleeves?
I’d trust them more once you correct for climate. > skew your color bets. Are your 14 doors all desert heat, or do you have a couple higher-altitude stores that We clustered by heat/altitude and subtracted each door’s prior SS 6-week sell-through delta from both forecasts; that cut error from about 9 pts to about 4 on citrus crochet/eyelet minis, and @elijah2063’s Heuritech newness edge held while EDITED was better for replens.
