Choosing an assortment across products, channels, and locations involves several planning dimensions. Compare these systems on channel and location planning, open-to-buy planning, size and color planning, and planning horizon. Scenario and seasonal planning can help distinguish the approaches, while free-plan availability and paid-from pricing provide additional points of comparison. SAS Federation Server and Centric Planning & Pricing lead the ranking, followed by RELEX Demand Planning and Toolio. Increff Merchandising Software, Retalon Price Management and Optimization, Style Arcade, and AssortSmart are also among the first entries.
