Download our Ebook on How to Respond to Fluctuations in Consumer Demand
To respond to unprecedented changes in consumer demand retailers and suppliers are prioritising rapid, regular and data-driven changes to their assortments and in-store merchandising displays. There is no doubt that the coronavirus outbreak is changing the way consumers think and therefore this is changing how shoppers shop. They are looking to buy items which they were not before and they want to be able to find what they are looking for quickly and easily.
Communicating changes to assortments and product space plans is best done with accurate data-driven planograms. This is why efficient category management is more important now than it was before.
Each aspect of our category management services are delivered remotely and to the same high quality standard as if we have deployed a consultant on-site. The implementation, training and support services which come with DotActiv's category management and team management software products are also delivered online.
For your convenience, consultations are held through your preferred video conferencing tool. When customers prefer for DotActiv consultants to be deployed on-site, this can be arranged.
