Optimization In Context
Why Is This Such an Important Topic?
•  Consumers have the power of information in their pockets
and purses – the whole World is their assortment
•  The Retail environment is dominated by aggressive competition
Retailers have responded by accelerating promotions to win
business; as a result, “low price” is more of a key component of
“value” than ever
•  Organizationally, Retailers have focused on process
changes, rather than technology investments
•  But the pace of online change and the rise of dynamic pricing
forces the issue
The Fundamental Issue
The Retail Industry Is At A “Reset Moment” Triggered Consumer
Adoption Of Technology In A Way That Changes Society

What If…?

•  You could improve promotion effectiveness, by…?
•  eliminating wasted promotional spend on the wrong targets?
•  reducing money left on table with the wrong offers?
•  Reduce your risk by developing alternative what-if plans?
•  Generate better results through more localized rules?
•  Improve compliance through more consistent application of pricing rules?
•  Improve execution via exception monitoring?
•  Have better, more granular data available for the next planning cycle?
