Unlocking the power of retail intelligence
+ Proof of Value
Working with a sample set of stores to generate space recommendations, we fine tune the model to ensure it is optimised to work for your business.
Curve clashing model
What's included
Excel-fed recommendations based on our advanced curve clashing model.
Utilizes static data inputs from your databases.
How it works
Our platform's engine models sales relationships by analysing curves.
Optimizes space by balancing and trading off different sales curves.
Our process
Collaborate with our analysts to ensure the model generates accurate recommendations.
Partner with your commercial and space planning teams to apply these recommendations for data-driven space planning decisions within your organization.
Business constraints
What's included
MSAP provides two out the box constraints, allowing macro space planners to optimise the model runs based on store or estate level:
Fixed sections
Define fixture allocation for specific sections. The optimization automatically assigns the set number of fixtures to each section.
Min and Max Section Limits
Set minimum and maximum fixture ranges for optimization within each section. For instance, you can establish a range of 3 to 7 fixtures. The optimization will then recommend fixture numbers within this specified range for the section.
Onboarding process
We deliver several workshops to assess data and operational requirements:
Workshop 1: Data assessment to review the sales and space data. We provide a recommendation on how the data must be structured before ingesting into the model.
Workshop 2: Business operations assessment, to build out detailed workflows to understand how the business makes space allocation decisions and recommend how this can be restructured using the platform.
Our analyst ingest your data into the excel model and provide 2-3 further workshops to walk your stakeholders through the data and the excel functionality.
