    Drive cross-functional alignment 

    Make the impact of store-cluster and store-specific assortment changes visible across your business and improve communication to local teams with updates that are simultaneously available for forecasting, replenishment, planograms, and inventory planning. 

    Leverage forward-looking data 

    React to local needs and adapt assortments to changing demand by leveraging not only historical sales information but also store- and channel-specific forecasts.

    Mobile access to assortment and planogram information enables two-way communication between central teams and stores, allowing for efficient collaboration and making it easy for associates to suggest changes that can help match local demand. 

    I continue to be impressed by the flexibility. The range optimization that we do with RELEX, for example, would not have been possible with any other tool.
