CELEBRATING TRIUMPHS: CLIENT SUCCESS STORIES

Carly Rae Studio
Wendi has been an instrumental part of my business success and growth in the last year and a half. We started working together after many years of trying to manage inventory and systems on my own. When I opened my first storefront I knew I needed help and I can't imagine trying to manage inventory without her. She has pointed out new categories, opportunities and ideas that have lead to huge monetary success. I love being able to run ideas and problems by her every month as they come up. It makes being in retail feel much less daunting and alone. Before working together, I really struggled to keep track of my inventory, to know what was selling and to have the right inventory at the right time. Now, I know there is someone holding me accountable to a system and doing so much of the work for me - I so look forward to our meetings and hearing her insight. I have more time to focus on growing my business and doing what I am good at, I look forward to many more years of success while working with Wendi.

Bunny & Babe
In 2019, when I decided to make my dream of opening Bunny and Babe, an apparel boutique, a reality, I knew I would need help navigating the uncharted waters of managing inventory and systems. From the moment we started working together, I knew I had found an invaluable partner in Wendi Tanner. Her expertise and insights, combined with the data from Management One, ensured that I always had the right products at the right time to profitably grow my business. Wendi not only provides guidance and data, but she also helps me find solutions to issues and unveil opportunities, new products, and vendors that have translated into substantial monetary success. Our journey together has been transformative, and I'm excited to see Bunny and Babe's continued growth and success with Wendi's guidance.

The Ninth House
Working with Wendi and Management One has been a total game changer in my business. Before, I was throwing spaghetti at the wall and was unknowingly way under stocked and scared to buy — which had a major negative impact on my business. Wendi slowly and surely helped me to bring my inventory up to appropriate levels and my sales have significantly increased with it. In addition to breaking down the numbers, Wendi has been a mentor, advisor and wise ear. She has helped me to brainstorm new ideas in a variety of areas of my store, as well as given me motivation during harder months. I am so glad I made the choice to invest in Management One and Wendi.

Brightwater Clothing & Gear
With over a decade in the fashion business, Brightwater Clothing was a well-established player, but growth had plateaued, and excess inventory was a challenge. Then, I connected with Wendi Tanner and Management One. Working with Wendi, I learned to buy efficiently, driven by data, resulting in increased profitability. The accountability and guidance Wendi brought made a significant impact, reinvigorating Brightwater Clothing. Our journey stands as a testament to the power of strategic insights and accountability in achieving a profitable future.

Hungry Hound
Before working with Wendi and Management One, I used to buy things on a hunch and hoped they would sell. However, since partnering with Wendi, I’ve gained access to invaluable data and trends that have transformed my approach to inventory management. Now, I invest my inventory budget wisely, backed by insights and data, leading to better cash flow and increased profitability. Wendi’s guidance and counsel have extended far beyond inventory, encompassing crucial areas of my business, including cash flow management, employee-related issues, and overall motivation. With her support, I’ve discovered the true potential of informed decision-making, propelling my business to new heights.

Lucky Dog Bakery
I can speak to the value of Management One. I have been working with Wendi Tanner since February, 2022 and I am extremely excited about the progress we have made. Management 1 helps you develop open to buy plans that are based on data. The pay off is in increasing your margins, not being overstocked, having better cash flow. I have been in business 10 years and have a great handle on my business, but I am impressed with the payoff I have seen by working with Wendi Tanner. It has helped me refine how I look at inventory and purchasing.

The Fetching Dog
Management One has been a game changer for our small local retail business. We now have concise reports to compile data and offer answers about our sales that we once guessed at. This information allows us to tighten the ropes with our budget for ordering and manage our inventory with precision. Since our POS software integrates with the Management One software, our data is automatically uploaded to the reports and accurate at any point in time. Beyond reporting numbers, Wendi has guided and taught us how to find more cash flow by watching our margins and increasing our higher margin inventory. Having her guidance and the solid reports has allowed us to set and meet goals, which has resulted in growth month after month! This service has been invaluable to us and the success of our business even through the pandemic.
