Channel Clustering

Benefit from micro-merchandising without the major expense. Channel Clustering isolates significant preference patterns for more targeted merchandising decisions proven to drive category sales and profits.

While traditional efforts segment stores based on assumptions or averages, Channel Clustering starts with the facts: historical performance derived from point-of-sale (POS) transactions. Channel Clustering’s advanced data mining technology creates demand groups by clustering store locations based on sales patterns and opportunistic forecast data. With intelligence backing their efforts, your merchants and planners can launch channel, assortment and category plans at an elevated level and benefit from a fast return on investment (ROI)
