Updated articles on the DotActiv PowerBase

 

When To Use Initializer Vs Optimizer

This article aims to clarify the differences between using the Initializer and the Optimizer features. Each one serves a purpose and holds distinctive attributes suited for specific situations.

We have added the tag “Initialiser vs Optimiser” to improve the searchability based on the spelling differences.

Creating Planogram Highlight Spectrums For Floor Plans

The highlight functionality in the DotActiv software allows you to accurately identify specific areas on the floor plan based on a set metric. This functionality works the same for the Highlights Spectrum on planograms. You can then see the weaker and stronger areas in the store based on sales, units, profit, days of supply, and more. 

We added the tag “Heat Maps” to these two articles to improve searchability based on the different terminology.

Upskill yourself by setting up a highlights spectrum for your floor plans.
