Build Your Team›Merchandising & Planning›Allocation Analyst

Allocation Analyst

An allocation analyst who decides what stock goes where — by store grade, size curve and channel — so product sits where it will sell, not where it landed. Every one is trained through the Adminworks Academy and personally vetted by our founders, and joins your team as exactly that: your team.

What good looks like

01

Statement

Fewer broken size runs in store, and less stock sitting in the wrong postcode.

Why offshore works

Allocation is data in, decisions out, on a weekly cycle. The sales and stock data is already in your systems, and the rules can be written down.

Brief to first day, without the drag

Nothing waits for the step before it to finish, so your new team member can start as soon as they're ready, not when the paperwork catches up.

01
Brief

We scope the role with you, in line with your organisation’s values and culture, and align on a budget.

02
Shortlist

We source, screen and interview, then send only the candidates we’d endorse, each aligned to your brief.

03
Interview

You meet the shortlist and choose who joins your team. We set the interviews up around your diary.

04
Hire

You choose the candidate, we onboard them to our platform and get their equipment ready. We formally connect them with you to set up system access ahead of their first day.

Phases overlap
Depending on how quick you need to move, the process usually takes 2-4 weeks.

Stock in the wrong store is a markdown waiting to happen. We put it where it sells.

The Adminworks standard - Allocation Analyst

Common questions

Do they need an allocation system?

No. Many brands run allocation well in Excel with clean data from the ERP.

Who makes the final call?

They build and recommend. Your planner or buyer approves until the rules are agreed.

Can they allocate to wholesale and online too?

Yes. They balance stores, online and wholesale against the same stock pool.
