Case Study: Nisa Today's

While Nisa-Today's members include an extensive range of unique retailers ranging from small convenience stores to large supermarkets, each retailer faced one common challenge they lacked an automated merchandising solution that could optimize their assortment and in-store space to meet localized demand.

"Providing our members with detailed merchandise plans has always been an important element of Nisa-Today's support service," said Andrew Mouse, Group Sales Director, Nisa-Today's. "However, as our member base continued to grow, it became logistically impossible to manually create plans to meet the needs of every store. We needed a solution that could tailor itself to the size and demographics of each member's store to optimise inventory."

In 2003, Nisa-Today's first partnered with Galleria, a leading provider of retail and category optimisation solutions, to develop a merchandising solution specifically for the independent retail sector. Galleria developed its Automated Micro Space Planning System (AMSP), an intuitive, easy-to-use solution that enables retailers to manage their requirements at the store level rather than at a corporate level. Throughout the planning process, Nisa-Today's worked with Galleria to customise the solution to ensure it met the needs of the company and its members.
