Scenario Planning

The HFSS Space Race…The biggest change to in-store product location in decades.

Assortment Optimisation

High selling HFSS products have moved from display into the aisles. The competition for in-aisle space is fiercer than ever before. You will need to justify shelf space and retailers will need to make larger than usual range changes, including adding new healthier products.

WHAT? IRI has developed a simple and easy to use predictive online tool for improving the speed and quality of ranging decisions by testing different scenarios or alternatively by using the assortment optimisation module.

HOW? The shopper’s purchase decision is influenced by the ‘attractiveness’ of each product attribute in comparison to others available. The ‘attractiveness’ is found by an advanced algorithm that calculates the incremental and transferable volume and therefore the value by using both modeling results and external control factors (i.e. weather etc.)
