Match Your Assortments
With Customer Demand
JustEnough launches Assortment Planning release
4.5
 Your customers
expect that the products they need are always in stock, whether it’s the hottest
new sweater or the rare part needed to make a broken machine work again. Then there
are products that customers didn’t even realize they needed, like the appetizing
new cookies they just spotted on the end cap.
Giving your customers what they want (whether they’re aware of it or not) means
matching your assortments with customer demand. But it’s often a tug-of-war struggle
between the art and science of Assortment Planning.
There’s the art — knowing current trends and colors and being able to create a display
that demands attention — and the science — looking at the assortment as a mix of
numbers, algorithms and statistics that guide decisions.
So how can you make sure the right products are on the shelf, on the hangers or
in the aisles? Match up what looks good with what’s going to sell.
