Category Managers
need accurate and timely information about category performance, market trends
and demographics in order to decide on the best tactics to achieve category
strategies and objectives. In most cases, however, decisions are difficult to
analyze before execution and oftentimes are based on fragmented, outdated and
partial information.
Consolidating category performance information to
support the decision-making processes requires tight integration of application
and data sources that are typically not integrated and are inflexible in
structure. Development of strategies and tactics to support consumer-based
merchandising and marketing is evolving and is on its way to becoming a 'must
have' for progressive retailers. Additionally, in order to respond to the
rapidly changing marketplace, retailers need to have a flexible, configurable
category management solution that quickly assesses titleernative tactics and
consistently executes across the enterprise. |
