Calendar Visibility
See every promotion in every category, and every gap between them.
Across every category
Each manager plans their own category, and each plan looks fine on its own. Nobody sees that three snack promos land in the same week, or that dairy has nothing running for two weeks.
Cartweel puts every category on the same calendar. Overlaps show up before they ship, and gaps show up while there is still time to fill them.
Every category runs as its own lane across the same weeks. Scan down a week and see everything in it.
If two promos land on the same items, Cartweel flags them while they're still drafts.
Empty weeks show up as empty. So does a category that has gone quiet for a month.
The weeks ahead
A promo window is the last step of a long chain. The vendor deal closes first, then orders cut, then tags print, and only then does the window open. Slip an early date and every date after it slips too.
The calendar carries the whole chain. Every window shows its prep dates, and the next two weeks tell you exactly what has to happen now.
Every window comes with its own deadlines. Orders, tags, and design count back from opening day automatically.
Brand spots book by the year. The calendar holds the whole season, so January's plan is visible in June.
Today's view shows every window currently open and how long each one has left.
