Business Wire
Today’s hurried, budget-conscious and eco-friendly shoppers are
interested in consolidating their shopping into one trip in order
to save time, money and gasoline. To meet this need, winning
retailers must not only carry the right products, but also
strategically place products together in a way that simplifies the
shopping experience. The latest release of i2 Buying and Assortment
Management from i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITWO) features
significant new features to help those retailers enhance assortment
effectiveness and simplify a customer’s shopping experience.
New features of i2 Buying and Assortment Management include:
- Enhanced merchant and planner
productivity and effectiveness by enabling planning by
collections
- Increased support for assortment
visualization by allowing the planner to visualize the range of
product by store segment, and to detect and resolve missing
assortment elements
- Assortment optimization by
providing a “best guess” initial range plan based on item, store
and season attributes
“The improvements to i2 Buying and Assortment Management are in
response to a dramatic shift in thinking by retailers, as they must
now focus on how their customers want to buy products instead of
how retailers source and purchase products,” said Chuck Kramer, i2
senior vice president and general manager, Retail. “For example,
retailers that arrange an entire look—such as the blouse, skirt,
shoes and accessories—in one display reduce the likelihood that a
customer will need to go to different departments, or worse, other
stores, to locate the right shoes or purse to match an outfit. Not
only does this create a simpler, stress-free experience for
time-crunched customers, but it also increases the chance that the
customers will buy more in a single visit.”
