requirements, especially Marketing and Merchandising
• Supporting the business requirements requires a set of major IT initiatives
that will require significant focus and resources
• IT also needs to establish and expand ongoing processes to support CRM

4. XYZ business users have identified an ambitious set of CRM-
related requirements, especially Marketing and Merchandising
Direct Marketing – XYZ plans to extensively scale its direct marketing efforts (direct mail and email)
to drive sales and create deeper customer engagement; direct marketing will be
guided by customer-specific transaction data
XYZ Co-Branded – A co-branded XYZ credit card will be issued in 20XX, and will be used to drive
Credit Card sales and gain additional insights into customer behavior
Rewards Program – Developing a compelling customer value proposition is a critical linchpin for
ongoing CRM success (esp. customer data capture); XYZ is considering a
Rewards Program to provide such a value proposition, although the specific
program design is still to be determined
Multi-Channel – Providing customers with the ability to order/exchange product across both in-
Execution store and online channels is an important business requirement
Analysis & Research – Analysis using customer-specific profile and transaction information will be used to
gain deeper customer insights and measure CRM results, and will drive business
results across disciplines (Marketing, Merchandising, Real Estate, etc.)
Real Estate – New store site selection and store closings will leverage customer-specific profile
and transaction data, as well as analytical tools
Merchandising – Optimizing in-store product assortment at the individual store level, as well as
improving pricing and markdown management, will also leverage customer-
specific data, and is likely the largest potential CRM benefit
4 The Anglum Group LLC

5. Supporting the business requirements requires a set of major
IT initiatives that will require significant focus and resources
Point of Sale - Enable XYZ POS system to efficiently handle complex data capture,
transmittal back to the Customer Hub, and return of customer-
specific information that improves customer engagement
Customer Data - Ongoing update process, reflecting new data added over time (e.g., credit
Model card application information) and data aggregations and metrics (e.g.,
direct marketing performance metrics)
- Data must be highly accurate because it drives business decisions; XYZ
must standardize its definitions and create organizational buy-in
Credit Card - Activities to support the introduction of the XYZ co-branded credit
card, and associated POS and data model implementation
Rewards Program - Activities to support the launch of a Rewards Program; many IT
implications are dependent on Rewards Program strategy & design
Multi-Channel - Enable visibility to available inventory across channels, specifically
Execution providing online access to available in-store inventory and providing
in-store ability to order from eCommerce inventory
Direct Marketing - Support increasingly large direct mail and email campaign
execution, capture of campaign results, and associated analysis
Real Estate - Enable more informed site selection and store closings by
incorporating customer-level profile and transaction data
Merchandising - Drive better store-level assortment using customer-level transaction
data

6. IT also needs to establish and expand ongoing processes to
support CRM
• Inputs and Extracts
• Process for integrating new data files and matching to the database
• Process for extracting data to support campaign management, sharing with 3rd-party
partners and sharing across departments
• Data Model Definition
• Process of revising and refining the data contained in the customer data warehouse
• Data Aggregation and Rollups
• Process of massaging and preparing data that best serves internal users and production applications
• Application Development
• Process of developing solutions that build upon and enhance the existing CRM capability (e.g.,
flagging specific customers based on geography or style/size preference, customized merchandising
analysis/applications, etc.)
• Tools
• Process to evaluate and implement best-of-breed tools that serve the business and extend the ability
for XYZ to efficiently meet internal and external customer needs
• Metrics
• Process for defining, creating and managing new data elements and derived data

Business Requirements
Description:
Determining product mix in-store, including depth and breadth of assortment, price / markdown optimization,
inventory replenishment, and size management.
Key Facts: Current / Future Plans:
• Merchandising leverages a number of analysis • One near-term priority is to use customer insight to group
and planning tools, including tools for case pack (cluster) stores, which will benefit most merchandising
optimization, price execution, size management applications (esp. assortment planning); goal is to assort
by store, markdown optimization, promotion individual stores based on their specific customer base
tracker, and store-level inventory management, • Assortment planning driven by customer-level data is
etc. another priority, and is perceived to drive a lot of future
• XYZ cycles XX% of its lots annually; with value by assisting in the ability to assort at the individual
seasonality and fashion trends, this complicates store level
the ability to assort • Customer-level transaction data will also help drive size
• One of the largest potential benefits of CRM is its inventory decisions (especially by learning the extent that
application to assortment plans a customer or customers may size up or down)
• Assortment planning is currently driven by store • Customer-level data will also improve the effectiveness of
clusters, store volume, and other historical data the PromoTracker tool (measuring impact of putting a Lot
• Clustering currently is a ‘mixed bag’, with on a particular promotional vehicle) vs. the current
clusters defined by ethnicity, geography, and ambiguity because of existing product aggregations
channel • Other ‘wish list’ items include individual store-level
• A new Assortment Planning tool is being customer reporting (who is buying, not just what is being
implemented; it uses a dedicated data mart and bought), tracking at the linear foot level, profitability by
i2 software fixture, etc.
• PromoTracker is used today for a lot of the • One key enabler is to “put (customer) data into a central
merchandising analysis, and is housed in an repository in a format suitable for analysis”
