Today’s hurried, budget-conscious and eco-friendly shoppers are interested in consolidating their shopping into one trip in order to save time, money and gasoline. To meet this need, winning retailers must not only carry the right products, but also strategically place products together in a way that simplifies the shopping experience. The latest release of i2 Buying and Assortment Management from i2 Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITWO) features significant new features to help those retailers enhance assortment effectiveness and simplify a customer’s shopping experience.

New features of i2 Buying and Assortment Management include:

  • Enhanced merchant and planner productivity and effectiveness by enabling planning by collections
  • Increased support for assortment visualization by allowing the planner to visualize the range of product by store segment, and to detect and resolve missing assortment elements
  • Assortment optimization by providing a “best guess” initial range plan based on item, store and season attributes

“The improvements to i2 Buying and Assortment Management are in response to a dramatic shift in thinking by retailers, as they must now focus on how their customers want to buy products instead of how retailers source and purchase products,” said Chuck Kramer, i2 senior vice president and general manager, Retail. “For example, retailers that arrange an entire look—such as the blouse, skirt, shoes and accessories—in one display reduce the likelihood that a customer will need to go to different departments, or worse, other stores, to locate the right shoes or purse to match an outfit. Not only does this create a simpler, stress-free experience for time-crunched customers, but it also increases the chance that the customers will buy more in a single visit.”

To learn more about i2 Buying and Assortment Management, please visit i2 in booth No. 1537 during the NRF 99th Annual Convention and Expo in New York City, Jan. 10 –13, 2010. i2’s retail consultants will be available to meet with interested attendees to further discuss the company’s solutions. Private meetings can be arranged by sending an e-mail to mark_mirsky@i2.com.
