Collaborative Assortment Execution

Once assortment plans have been created, many retailers must rely on manual and/or disjointed processes in carrying these plans through order placement. Merchants are challenged with incompatible or incomplete product information, administrative issues, and errors. Management has limited visibility and control of the process.

7thOnline addresses these challenges by providing an automated execution application to translate assortment plans into actual buys. 7thOnline OptiBuy bridges the gap between the retailer's existing assortment planning and order management systems, with capabilities to incorporate vendor information and images as required. All involved parties are able to access and share assortment planning information in real-time, ensuring that these plans are brought to fruition as effectively and expeditiously as possible. 7thOnline OptiBuy is the assortment execution solution within the 7thOnline Continuous Merchandise Management suite.
