Assortment Planning

A connected assortment planning tool that empowers buyers to move faster, collaborate more effectively, and make every assortment decision count.

Descripción general

Powering agile, localized assortments that drive margin and deliver on customer expectations

Product volumes are growing, customer expectations are shifting, and planning windows are shrinking. Buyers still rely on instinct—but to keep up, that instinct must be amplified by AI and grounded in real-time insight.
Most teams are still stitching plans together manually across disconnected tools that don’t scale.
Assortment Planning removes that friction—automating decision points, streamlining collaboration, and connecting every plan to financial and operational outcomes.

 

Características y capacidades

The tools buyers need to get the assortment right

Pre-season planning and placeholder creation

Start the season with clear strategic direction using a combination of post-season hindsight and current trend signals. Buyers can build early frameworks using placeholders aligned to vendor targets, sustainability goals, and category strategies—long before final product details are available. This allows planning to start earlier and move with more control.

Dynamic scenario planning and what-ifs

Test how assortment changes will impact revenue, margin, or store execution—before committing. Run constraint-aware scenarios based on vendor shifts, regional trends, or space limitations, and compare outcomes side-by-side. Teams can align faster on the right strategy and reduce late-stage changes that create risk downstream.

AI-guided assortment optimization

Let AI enhance the buyer’s judgment—surfacing trends, validating direction, and recommending mix changes across categories and channels. This capability helps teams prioritize high-impact decisions and eliminate manual guesswork, improving relevance, speed, and margin potential. Assortments get sharper without slowing down the process.

Financial and supply chain alignment

Ensure assortment decisions stay grounded in financial goals and execution realities. By connecting plans with inventory constraints, space limits, and product flow, teams can avoid misalignment and improve coordination across merchandising, finance, and supply chain. The result: better assortments, fewer disconnects, and faster time to market.

Attribute-based planning and missed opportunity detection

Track performance at the attribute level to identify emerging trends, category gaps, and areas of overlap. AI highlights what’s missing and what’s underperforming, then recommends adjustments by store cluster or channel, with explainability built in. Buyers can respond faster while keeping the assortment tightly aligned to demand and customer behavior.
