Raymark Assortment Planning enhances retail sales by connecting financial planning with order processing, enabling accurate product selection before purchase orders. It provides worldwide visibility, real-time stock movement insights, and predictive analytics for sales forecasting while optimizing inventory based on local demands. The solution reduces errors and improves profitability by aligning appropriate assortments at the right stores and times, leveraging a single database framework.

1. Product selection and availability have a high impact on retail sales. Developed to bridge the gap between financial planning and order processing, Raymark Assortment Planning allows merchandise from the merchandise financial plan in Raymark’s Planning module to be selected for assortment before purchase orders are created and approved in the Global Ordering Purchasing module.

Meet Local Demands to Sell More
The solution is designed to help retailers define store-level assortments to match local demand by assortment breadth and depth.
Optimize Inventory Investments
Cluster management empowers retailers to cluster stores into groups using POS historical data to identify stores showing similar patterns in order to optimize inventory investment, accelerate sales, minimize inter-store transfers and reduce markdowns.
Retail Business Challenge
It can be difficult to get our assortment right. We often end up having to perform too many inter-store transfers and are forced to liquidate our stock at the end of the season, resulting in lower profit margins.
