Retailers can make an inventory plan based on one set of assumptions and find themselves working with very different economics months later. Tariffs can change, product costs can move and retail prices may need to adjust, all while inventory is already on order or in the network.

This guide explores how retailers can respond when tariffs and other cost conditions change, from understanding what those changes mean for demand to evaluating inventory exposure and identifying where there is still flexibility to act.

• How tariffs and cost changes can affect demand and inventory needs
• Why price changes can distort the demand signal behind a plan

• Where cost exposure sits across your inventory
• How to distinguish inventory already committed and what can still change
• Why demand, inventory and pricing decisions need to stay connected as conditions change
• How planners can evaluate recommendations and decide what to do next t
