LEAFIO AI helps category teams in retail chains plan and manage assortments by store and cluster. Use sales and profitability data to identify underperforming SKUs, review assortment gaps, and decide which products to add, keep, or phase out. Track the results of assortment changes in one place.
LEAFIO Assortment Performance is part of the LEAFIO AI Retail Platform and works alongside Inventory Optimization, Shelf Efficiency, and Promotion Management: assortment decisions feed replenishment, planograms, and promo plans in one data loop.
Created with Machine Learning Assortment Management Analytics Insights.
The retail assortment management software constantly analyzes the changes made in the categories and their results. Based on this, LEAFIO AI Assortment Performance offers profound qualitative improvements to help you work with retail assortment efficiently.
Strategy Automation takes the guesswork out of category planning. With a single click, the system calculates the optimal number of SKUs for every assortment segment down to sub-levels like price tier or product type based on your chosen financial objective: sales, revenue, or gross profit. Category managers can then share, compare, edit, and approve strategy drafts collaboratively, replacing manual spreadsheets with a structured, data-driven plan for every category.
The retail assortment management software provides automated store grouping, or you can cluster stores based on your desired parameters. This allows you to track the metrics of specific stores that you need. Activate or deactivate products for an entire store cluster at once, saving time. Tailor your assortment plans to different clusters, ensuring the right products are available in the right stores.
Use the comprehensive LEAFIO AI toolset to optimize your product mix from the assortment plan to adaptation, analysis, and optimization. The software allows you to create and save SKU groups for streamlined operations, like targeted marketing activities or promo campaigns. Track and analyze group performance to identify trends or address issues, and easily share SKU groups with colleagues to enhance team collaboration.
Get a detailed view of your retail assortment to identify underperforming SKUs, assess new product performance, and determine which SKUs are missing in specific stores, empowering data-based decisions at every category level.
Reports are implemented within the retail assortment optimization software: Plan vs. Actual, SKU sales dynamics, analysis of suppliers and customers, balances, new products, and lost sales. If a category or an SKU has potential for improvement, the system will always show you what you need to see.
While most ERP systems provide basic product data, this software lets you add unlimited, customizable product-specific parameters. You can define attributes that matter to your business, ensuring the system tracks the information you need. These custom parameters are integrated into the analytics module, allowing for more detailed reporting and matrix building based on product characteristics.
LEAFIO AI's assortment matrix tool displays SKUs with key characteristics tailored to category managers and store clusters. You can dive into specific clusters to test products and evaluate their performance under consistent conditions. The matrix facilitates the swift introduction of exclusive products in selected stores, making it perfect for testing new items or running limited-time promotions.
- Insertion: Awaiting assignment by the category manager.
