What AssortSmart is
AssortSmart is paid assortment planning software for retailers and merchandising teams. It brings store clustering, range strategy, line planning, and buying decisions together, using customer demand, inventory, and financial targets to shape product ranges. Teams can create localized assortments by store group, region, or channel. The system groups stores by customer demand and product performance, statistically evaluates those clusters, and estimates new-product potential and demand-driving attributes. An AI agent can handle routine tasks such as carry-forward analysis, placeholders, and range recommendations. Administrators can set guardrails for low-risk routine decisions to run automatically, while exceptions wait for planner approval. Recommendations draw on historical performance, sell-through, demand signals, inventory position, product attributes, store-group behavior, and financial targets. The product is described for apparel, accessories, footwear, electronics, and appliances, and supports location, seasonal, and channel planning. Impact Analytics states that its security approach includes SSO with multi-factor authentication, role-based access, TLS 1.2 in transit, and AES-256 encryption at rest. Pricing is available on request.
