How Merchandising Insights Work

Upload floor plans to your portal to create a store map. Use drawing tools to draw merchandise zones. X/Y coordinates and areas sizes are automatically set up to locate shoppers in each zone.

Analyze the health of your merchandise areas on over 40 metrics. Interactive dashboards with what-if queries allows you to drill down into over and under performing zones for each store.

‘Push-intelligence’ detects changes in the health of your zones and triggers alerts to personnel. Operations teams are empowered to improve the customer experience and profitability of stores.
