How to design a merch system
Move from one-off swag orders to a versioned, governed merch system with SKU library, BOM specs and reorder workflows.
Overview
A merch system needs four pillars: a brand bible (Pantone, fonts, logo lockups), a SKU library (item + variant + price band), a BOM template per SKU, and a governance RACI for new launches and discontinuations.
Process
Step-by-step: audit current inventory, lock 12-24 core SKUs, build BOMs, map suppliers per SKU, set reorder triggers (par level + lead time), publish a public catalog, monthly review.
