Galleria Launches Version 7.2 Of Its Customer-Centric Merchandising Solution

Enhanced solution provides improved functionality, reporting and analysis capabilities

Galleria recently launched Version 7.2 of its advanced, Customer-Centric Merchandising (CCM) solution. The solution enables retailers to further improve retail optimization by executing a customer-centric assortment and merchandising strategy across hundreds of categories and stores in full recognition of the constraints applied by the supply chain, inventory requirements and in-store space. The latest release provides retailers with improved functionality, reporting and analysis capabilities.

"Version 7.2 offers new functions and capabilities to help retailers create an even more precise customer-centric strategy," said Mike Humphreys, CTO, Galleria. "The intuitive, user-friendly solution still offers the same robust scalability required to quickly and easily generate high-quality merchandise plans to ensure the right products are displayed at the right stores in the right quantities. For new customers, implementation time can be completed within a matter of weeks."

Version 7.2 is cost effective to deploy and enables users to create assortments, merchandise plans, and produce space plans using flagged placeholder products. Once the real products have been imported into the master product table, users can quickly and easily place them in the merchandise plans. This speeds merchandise plan development and allows retailers to easily make product updates as needed. In addition, Version 7.2 has enhanced "Minor Revision" capabilities with improved product allocation, size changes and updated performance data that can amend space allocation for products. This includes product attributes, a timeline refresh, block revisions and product rules. Also, new screens have been incorporated to enable users to review the performance of their optimized merchandise plans. Data can now be viewed at different levels including, store overview, product overview, store-by-product details and unsuccessful products.

"Our solutions are designed to provide retailers and vendors with true retail and category optimization with the latest customer-centric merchandising technology to help them increase sales and gain a competitive advantage," added Humphreys. "The enhanced applications in Version 7.2 provide retailers with more flexibility and visibility to maximize their resources and achieve a greater return on investment."
