Have a customer-centric retail strategy

Assortment Planning is the process of deciding the width and depth of the assortments for each sales channel, and it is the key step in the inventory investment decisions. With today’s fast-changing market dynamics and diverse customer needs, a customer-centric retail strategy must include localizing assortments to address different requirements. Therefore, Assortment Localization, the process of differentiating product offering or timing across markets, is becoming the norm. However, managing hundreds of products across multiple sales channels and store clusters while calculating buying quantities based on different life cycle strategies and keeping track of store capacities can be overwhelming.

Solvoyo’s cloud-based solution offers advanced analytics and predictive models to support assortment-localization and buy-planning decisions. For brick-and-mortar retailers looking to do Assortment Localization, clusters created in the Solvoyo Clustering tool can be used in Assortment Planning with one click. The digital platform improves visibility and collaboration as approved styles can be viewed in real-time.
