Giant Eagle Implements Promotional Display Optimization Solution

Chicago — February 3, 2009. Galleria Retail Technology Solutions announced Giant Eagle has deployed its Promotional Display Optimization solution to streamline and optimize its weekly promotion display planning initiatives. Giant Eagle is now able to create customer-centric merchandise planograms on a store-by-store, weekly basis to ensure the products advertised in its weekly flyers are on the shelf to meet demand. Upon completing a five-month initial implementation in 138 stores, the retailer has achieved significant sales gains while reducing end-of- promotion inventory.

Using Galleria's automated application, Giant Eagle incorporates store-specific data to optimize end cap displays, thus reducing out-of-stocks and eliminating excess inventory. The speed of the solution allows Giant Eagle to operate efficiently with the ability to produce more than 2,000 planograms per day. Further, the training program developed by Galleria enables team members to understand the application.
