Abbey Glass

At Abbey Glass, growth wasn’t driven by adding layers of complexity. It came from tightening the fundamentals and making sharper, faster decisions with the right data in place.

Schoen Retail Consulting partnered with Abbey Glass to rebuild the merchandising and inventory engine from the ground up. This included developing forecasting tools rooted in real sales velocity, redefining assortment architecture to focus on proven winners, and implementing disciplined inventory planning that supported both DTC and wholesale growth without overextending the business.

The approach centered on clarity: identifying which styles truly drove the business, ensuring those styles were consistently in stock, and aligning production timelines to actual demand patterns, not guesswork. At the same time, the team streamlined reporting and planning processes so that a lean team could operate with the precision of a much larger organization.

The result was over 100% year-over-year growth, stronger in-stock rates on core styles, improved cash flow management, and more strategic vendor partnerships. Abbey Glass was able to scale efficiently, increase customer trust through product availability, and expand across channels without adding unnecessary overhead or operational strain.

A lean team, when paired with the right systems and discipline, doesn’t limit growth. It accelerates it.
