Assortment & Item Planning FSL CS leverages embedded science and automation to provide an effective assortment strategy to maximize return on inventory investment. By factoring in last year or last assortment trends and attribute mix, style-color performance by location, and one-off and special buys, this solution provides a recommended rate of sale and target options count for merchants and planners to utilize as a benchmark as they work with design teams and go to market.

The wedge builder algorithm takes this customer targeted assortment and recommends the optimal number of style-colors based on the assortment strategy that best fit the item status strategy and attribute goals planned for each cluster, ensuring that the product selection reflects a unique and engaging assortment mix to promote customer satisfaction and engagement.

The inclusion of sophisticated and intelligent logic allows retailers to complete their assortments quickly and effectively, allowing for more time for collaboration to develop creative innovation to increase in-store and online traffic growth. Coupled with highly visual plan views and capabilities and simplified business process, retailers are able to effectively make informed decisions when creating an optimal assortment while understanding the overall impact that it will have to the floor set and customer experience.

The Assortment & Item Planning FSL Cloud Service in-season business process provides planners with the ability to quickly and effectively react to season-to-date actuals and trends with exception management. With one complete version of the truth through a common business process and calculations and smart starting points, planners are able to easily review and update sales, promotions, and markdown plans.

The solution also helps retailers to anticipate and proactively manage exceptions through standard real-time alerts and an interactive and user-tailored exceptions dashboard, to ultimately highlight and focus a planner's attention on key areas. The solution supports the entire lifecycle of an item, including what-if promotion and markdown planning capabilities. The price and promotion planning capabilities, by percent off or price-point, streamline the layering of events within the context of the sales, inventory and keep/add/drop assortment planning decisions to derive ideal exit and carryover strategy.

Delivering an effective assortment and item strategy that engages the customer in an Omnichannel environment requires a single view of customer, inventory, order, demand, and pricing / promotions. Oracle Retail's unified approach to planning provides a framework of best practices, without inhibiting the art of the merchant, while enabling the retailer to improve the precision and level of detail of assortment and item planning decisions through advanced analytics and science.
