The Process Of Assortment Optimization

Can Be Broken Down Into 4 Steps:

Step 1: Segment the customers based on their shopping pattern

  • The Algorithm searches the common pattern among the customers by considering basket size, penetration, pack size/type, and selling price.
  • Identify behaviors that are similar, also refer to as customer types.
Step 1 Segment the customers based on their shopping pattern
Identify the favorite products for each customer type

Step 2: Identify the favorite products for each customer type

  • The machine finds the most popular products in each customer type by using shopper’s basket or shopper counts.
  • This step provides an item list and data for sales forecast.
  • Calculate the proportion of customers who purchase each product, ranking them accordingly.

Step 3: Determine the proportion of customer type by store

  • Based on the output from Step 1, the machine can define various customer types based on their shopping patterns.
  • At this step, the machine determines the proportion of each customer type by store.

Step 4: Optimize the assortment

  • Once we get the customer type proportion, algorithm will work based on the favorite product list of each customer type.
  • Various constraints, such as the Number of SKUs, pack size, and variant, could be input at this step.
  • The system will select the combination that optimizes sales value, considering the proportion of each customer type and their favorite items.
