It lets us run each category like its own business: we define a goal and a strategy, structure clusters, and set explicit rules for which SKUs belong in which stores. The recommendations for adding and removing SKUs come with control over execution, so the matrix stays clean as the network grows instead of drifting. The dashboards give the category team one place to see what is working, and because it reads our actual transactional data the picture is store-level rather than an average across the chain. With over 10,000 SKUs across 52 stores that level of granularity is what makes the difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up the initial clusters and rules took planning on our side before the system could do its job, and a few more out-of-the-box report templates would save time when we need a new view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
