Retail

Assortment modules

Problem

In retail, large amounts of data with multiple references usually have to be maintained and analyzed, such as the demand for certain product groups at certain locations
Depending on the sales potential, different items must either be kept in stock or discontinued – keeping such a dynamic and complex process up to date manually with Excel spreadsheets is almost impossible
In addition, there are often other parallel processes such as decentralized booking and debiting by mail

Solution

Thanks to the assortment module app, merchandisers can manage the assortment modules (= article bundles) for their stores digitally
The whole thing is based on sales figures from other stores, so that store managers can book or delist certain product range modules themselves
In addition, the stores can now also view the assortment modules clearly and centrally and changes within the assortment modules can be displayed automatically

Impact

Centralized booking and debiting with the smart, mobile Simplifier-app.

Thanks to the close cooperation between IT and the specialist department, it has always been possible to find a good balance between process requirements and implementation efficiency. In addition, many more users can access the information. Previously, this was not possible for the majority of people.
