Why Move from Manual Spreadsheets to Assortment Planning Tools?
Traditional retail planning is reactive. DotActiv’s assortment planning software transforms the process into a proactive strategy.
By using integrated assortment optimization tools, you can simulate ‘what-if’ scenarios, seeing the impact on your bottom line before you even place an order.
1. Advanced Substitution Logic
Optimize Ranges with Transferable Demand
Stop guessing which SKUs to cut. Our assortment optimization tool identifies redundant products by predicting customer substitution patterns. You can trim SKU bloat and streamline your range without risking category turnover or losing loyal shoppers.
2. Omnichannel Alignment
Unified Strategy Across All Channels
DotActiv’s assortment planning tools & software bridge the gap between the physical shelf and the digital storefront. Synchronize your store-specific ranges with online “endless aisle” offerings to ensure a consistent, data-driven experience for every shopper, everywhere.
3. Visual Assortment Planning
Visualize Your Strategy Instantly
Don’t plan in a vacuum. Unlike spreadsheet-based assortment optimization retail tools, DotActiv integrates visual planogramming. See exactly how your new product mix impacts shelf capacity and brand blocking before you commit to an order.
