CPG — Assortment, Portfolio & Mix

Assortment Rationalization & SKU Optimization

Optimizes SKU assortment using weighted scoring.

Key Capabilities

  • Ingests sku master data (attributes, cost, margin) with minimal transformation
  • Applies deterministic, auditable scoring rules — no black-box logic
  • Delivers ranked, prioritised recommendations with clear rationale
  • Supports what-if scenario testing with instant recalculation
  • Exports results to Excel / CSV for downstream workflow integration
  • Configurable thresholds and parameters via a structured JSON file

How It Works

Assortment Rationalization & SKU Optimization ingests structured input data, applies business-rule-driven logic, and produces a prioritised set of insights and recommendations. All calculations are deterministic and auditable — every result can be traced back to its source data and the rule that produced it.

Inputs Required

  • SKU master data (attributes, cost, margin)
  • Sales velocity and margin contribution by SKU
  • Category coverage and benchmarking data

Outputs & Deliverables

  • Ranked recommendation set with priority scores
  • Optimized action plan with before/after comparison
  • Configurable output export (CSV / Excel)
