Negotiating in the retail world can be tricky, especially when it comes to assortment planning. It's like trying to find the perfect recipe to satisfy your guests' taste buds while working with a massive pantry of ingredients. With AI-powered tools like HIVERY Curate, you can create a feast catering to your shoppers and bottom line.

Imagine HIVERY Curate as your sous-chef, helping you whip up the best strategy to balance your store's offerings and making sure your retail space is utilized effectively.

Here's how it brings the magic to your store:

  1. HIVERY Curate lets you test out different recipes, or strategies, in real-time, letting you see how each ingredient or product impacts the overall dish (i.e., your store's volume, revenue, or profits) while taking into account your unique kitchen setup (i.e., product rules, store attributes, distribution center constraints).
  2. Defend your culinary choices with transparency. Show your guests (retailers) why a particular dish (product action) is good or bad for their dining experience (category).
  3. Our secret sauce? HIVERY Curate leverages store-level data, giving you insights into how your diners (shoppers) enjoy their meals. This way, you can personalize your menu (assortment-space strategy) to fit the tastes of your patrons, regardless of the number of tables (store cluster count) in your restaurant. It's like having a secret window into your customers' preferences. By operationalizing your assortment strategy with store-level insights, you can build trust in your plans and get everyone on board quickly. Fine-tune your menu and offer dishes that your guests truly crave.

Remember, your shoppers vote with their wallets. At the end of the day, the best way to predict what they'll order in the future is to look at what they've enjoyed in the past. At HIVERY, we understand this and why we believe in Hyperlocal retailing. This enables you to serve up better assortments at the store level, regardless of your cluster count, and get closer to your shoppers.

So, instead of getting lost in the endless pantry of retail possibilities, use HIVERY Curate as your sous-chef to create a meal that delights your shoppers and boosts your store's performance. It's time to break down traditional barriers and adopt a data-driven approach to make your retail space truly shine.

By utilizing store-specific data, you effectively refine assortment-space tactics that resonate with shoppers' preferences, bolstering confidence in your strategies and swiftly reaching a mutual agreement with your retail.

Embrace a data-centric approach to revolutionize your retail space, creating an enjoyable shopping experience that elevates performance. Happy cooking.
