Efficiently targeting local consumer preference <\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Pinpointing localized consumer preferences has always been a challenge. While predictive and descriptive intelligence could match plans with local customer requirements, how can companies uncover hidden patterns and trends without drowning in the data or employing an army of analysts?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cluster stores based on key performance indicators<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

provide a different store clustering for each major category within your store and correlates groups based on driving indicators store attributes, item attributes, store area etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deliver localized assortments with Channel Clustering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

quickly determine which stores exhibit similar consumer preference patterns for a category, cluster them into store groups and then assort by cluster. By planning assortments for each group with similar product preferences, you\u2019ll reduce unproductive inventory while fulfilling local demands.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Make better category decisions at the shelf and floor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enables your planners to target preferred local product demand in terms of popularity and shelf inventory. The application also helps to find the optimal number of groups to balance your micro-merchandising goals with your operational costs to save valuable time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimize channel planning efforts<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

form unique store groups by product segment (i.e., class, department and category). Plus you can plan by representative group instead of individual stores. You\u2019ll produce the optimum number of plans needed to achieve spot-on merchandising results within every channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
