Retail assortment management applications are foundational for modernizing merchandising processes as part of a digital business transformation strategy in unified retail commerce. The demand for these products is based on the item being on trend, seasonal or in fashion and, following maturity, demand will decline. Customers are increasingly becoming frustrated by wide assortments of excessive products that are prone to stock-out gaps, especially within short life cycle retailing with the proliferation of stock-keeping units (SKUs). They are now expecting retailers to provide an editing service to pare down item choices to those that are relevant to their lifestyles. Intelligent curation of assortments is enabling fashion retailers to present a reduced, but more targeted, assortment of styles and colors that are less confusing and are more in line with consumers’ values. This will translate to a boost in sales and profit margins, a decrease in end-of-season markdowns and reduction in waste.
