It is increasingly hard for CPG brands to capture the attention of and influence retail partners. Organizing multiple disconnected data sources into compelling category recommendations is one of the most critical, yet challenging aspects of Category Management.

Our Predictive Analytics engine, RichMix®, tackles this challenge for Category Managers. It is an industry leading efficient assortment tool that uses transferable demand curves to measure the incremental impact of changing the items and facings in a retailer’s mix.
