ANALYTICS AND IN-MARKET EXECUTION

Have the right product in the right place for the right shopper.

Store formats are changing, which means product assortments must change too. IRI’s assortment solutions guide you on which products to have on which shelves and in which stores to meet the needs of those specific shoppers.

With competition up and shelf availability down, manufacturers and retailers must understand which products need to be on shelf.

IRI’s assortment solutions offer detailed analysis and guidance to ensure that your product assortment strategy meets customer needs. Our assortment optimization engine leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to discover the retailer-specific opportunities that produce the most category and brand growth.
