Planning for a new season comes with uncertainty. Predicting demand for new products, deciding which items to carry over and ensuring a balanced, customer-friendly assortment are complex. Traditional planning often relies too heavily on last year’s data, lacks integration with financial and inventory plans and requires manual store clustering—leading to missed revenue opportunities and excess stock. Without a clear, data-driven approach, retailers struggle to optimize assortments in a way that meets both customer expectations and business goals.

Invent.ai Assortment Planning leverages AI, consumer data and machine learning to create tailored, space-optimized product selections at scale. By managing the complexity of product and location combinations, it boosts efficiency, customer loyalty and satisfaction.
