SymphonyAI Assortment Optimization is a web product for retailers and consumer packaged goods suppliers planning store-specific assortments and planograms. Its AI groups stores using shopper behavior, demographics, and performance, then builds product mixes within available shelf space. Demand-transference models estimate substitution and cannibalization and project sales and margin effects when items are added or removed. The system generates planograms from the optimized assortment, shelf dimensions, and merchandising rules. CPG partners can use the same platform for distribution modeling, new-item impact analysis, and de-listing risk assessment. CINDE connects with ERP, POS, WMS, and planning systems through connectors and APIs. Reported deployments include a UK co-operative retailer’s 4.6% sales and 5.2% margin increases, and Systembolaget managing 7,500 planograms across 450 stores with 2–3 FTEs.
