Optimized Product Ranking


Intelligently cluster stores using metrics, attributes, & predictive analytics

§ Cluster at any level (department, category, etc.)

§ Request an intelligent proposal (uses k-means, slight silhouette)

§ Use metrics and/or location attributes

§ Use external data (e.g., demographics)

§ Define min / max§ Plan for new store openings§ Nest clusters through multi-step

clustering (e.g., first by store size, then by attribute or KPI)

§ Visualize the clusters§ Perform fast simulations§ Make manual adjustments /

overrides


Rank products per assortment according to their importance

Composite Product Ranking: § Define relevant KPIs for ranking

and relative weights for eachKPI

§ Assign ranking key to applicableassortments

§ Rank all articles per assortmentbased on the compositeapplying a ranking key and business rules

§ Combined ranking key examples:– Combined index = KPI_1 x weight_1 + KPI_2 x weight_2 + … + KPI_n x weight_n.


Create & apply business rules to assortment definition

Advanced Business Rules Editor: § Business logic in the form of

defined rules will help guide the product ranking process.

§ Rules ensure that real-world requirements, business priorities, challenges, and constraints will be consideredin the product ranking process and the overall definition of the assortment.

§ Use business rule templates§ Assign business rules to nodes

on the product & market hierarchies

§ Evaluate business rules per assortment and giverecommendations to categorymanager § Examples:

– Minimum x nr/% of articles with the attribute y should be in assortment z– a1, a2, a3 should be mandatory in assortment x but optional in assortment z.– The following articles should be excluded from assortment x: a1, a2, a3 – Exclude all articles from vendor x from assortment from product group y & retail chain z
