Opportunities to grow share
SOLYS for category management quickly integrates and processes cross-channel retailer POS data to give you in-depth views of a single category or group of categories. The data is distilled into category management-specific intelligence visualized in a variety of customizable dashboards and reports. This way you can assess performance for each segment within a category and track that performance over a variety of specific, or extended, time frames — all from one screen.
Once you’ve identified trends, you can dig deeper to identify opportunities for incremental sales, improve category market share, build SKU rankings, optimize promotional and new-item launch events, and better align your category management strategies with those of your retailer.
