AssortSmart vs Retalon Store Planning

AssortSmart is paid assortment-planning software from Impact Analytics for retailers and merchandising teams. It brings store clustering, range strategy, line planning, and buying decisions together, using customer demand, inventory, product information, and financial targets. Retailers can create distinct ranges for store groups, regions, or channels. Store clusters are formed from demand and product performance and evaluated statistically. The system also estimates new-product potential and identifies product attributes associated with demand across store groups. Its AI agent handles routine work such as carry-forward analysis, placeholders, and range recommendations. Administrators can define guardrails that let low-risk decisions run automatically, while exceptions wait for planner approval. Planning inputs include historical performance, current sell-through, demand signals, inventory position, store-group behavior, and financial targets. It supports location, seasonal, scenario, and channel planning, but not open-to-buy planning. Pricing is on request.
