Identify the best products for each market

Receive personalized product assortment recommendations for each outlet with our SKU Optimization models.

This solution will help you identify the best products for each market segment. You’ll be able to compare similar segment portfolios, distribute SKUs to the locations they’ll perform best, and optimize operations by cutting cannibal products.

A customized and integrated solution

Our solutions can be customized to fit your unique business needs – optimizing the metrics important to your business (i.e., sales volume, product margin, returns/wastage, etc.).

SKU Optimization can also be integrated with additional data sources to provide demand forecasting, sales decomposition, and other Neal Analytics solutions.

SKU Optimization requires a minimum of two years of historical transaction-level sales data, a product description table (product names family/group, brand, package size, etc.), and a customer description table (customer name, location, trade channel, etc.). Additional datasets may be required based on customization options.
