Meet with Blue Yonder
Event
To deliver on their customer first strategy, AEON needed to improve their ability to keep the right products on store shelves to meet local demand.
Optimizing on-shelf availability
Blue Yonder’s suite of category management capabilities helps AEON move products quickly and efficiently through their supply chain and utilize retail space effectively. Schematic plans are developed for approved assortments in space planning and are saved in the category knowledge base repository. Shelf capacities of approved schematic plans are interfaced to AEON’s PROFIT system to support auto-ordering processes. Schematic plans are also emailed to stores for schematic plan implementation, increasing plan compliance.
Localized assortments
Blue Yonder’s channel clustering capability is used to group stores based on product performance to identify and localize customer preferences. Generated store groups are interfaced to the category knowledge base to support assortment optimization processes and recommend optimal assortments that are space-aware for schematic plan creation in space planning. Finalized schematic plans are interfaced to AEON’s PROFIT system for store auto ordering.
Solution benefits
Improved customer satisfaction from increased on-shelf availability of enhanced product assortments based on local demand and plan schematics. Increased profitability through reductions in out-of-stocks and obsolete merchandise. Rapid return on investment and around-the-clock support through cloud-based deployment.
