Collaborate with buying team on product launches
What You Do Today
Partner with merchants and buyers to plan how new products will be introduced in-store. Determine feature placement, display quantities, and the story the launch display should tell.
AI That Applies
AI predicts launch performance based on similar past products, suggests optimal feature duration, and recommends display locations based on category traffic patterns.

How It Works
The system ingests similar past products as its primary data source. The analytics engine aggregates data across sources, applies statistical analysis to identify significant patterns and outliers, and presents the results through visualizations that highlight what needs attention. The output — display locations based on category traffic patterns — surfaces in the existing workflow where the practitioner can review and act on it.
What Changes
Launch planning becomes more data-informed. You know which launch strategies worked for similar products.
What Stays
Creating the excitement around a new product — the display that makes it feel special — requires creative collaboration between you and the buying team.
