Retailers
AssortEdge is designed to work with fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) categories. Grocery, Convenience and Specialty retailers can all benefit from using the software. Retailers with these attributes will benefit most from using AssortEdge:
High store counts. AssortEdge is purpose-built to work with hundreds or thousands of store locations quickly and easily.
Multi-banner. Multiple retail banners can be partitioned and run in a single AssortEdge project, greatly reducing complexity.
Broad geographic scope. Retailers spanning disparate regional or national geographies with widely varying product preferences and availability will appreciate the efficiency of AssortEdge.
Retail Franchises. Retailers with a high degree of independent decision making authority over the products they carry have the ideal data for AssortEdge. The software can be used at HQ in a support role, or at store level to review and fine tune recommendations.
Suppliers
AssortEdge is a great tool for suppliers to build points of distribution and maximize local assortment potential for each retail client. Suppliers with these attributes will benefit most from using AssortEdge:
DSD direct. AssortEdge is the ideal tool for maximizing variety potential across locations when not bound by high minimum distribution requirements.
DSD distributors. Use client data to build points of distribution for under-distributed items both within and across retail accounts. Enable niche brands, flavors, forms and sizes to reach their full local sales potential.
High variety categories. Many categories with extensive product choice are primarily distributed through the retailer’s warehouses. As with store locations, the greater the number of items in the category choice set, the greater the benefit of using AssortEdge vs. traditional assortment localization software.
