How to create store specific planograms?
Creating a planogram is a complex process which involves factors such as the layout of a particular store or the shopping behaviour of customers. In Quant, users create planogram templates from which hundreds of store specific planograms are automatically generated.

Why are store specific planograms better than cluster specific?
Store specific planograms in Quant enhance the concept of sharing the same planogram within a cluster by automatically generating optimized store specific planogram for each store. Quant's artificial intelligence takes a planogram template created by a user for a given cluster and tailors it to the exact space of each store based on product sales of that store.

Why are historical sales not enough for quality forecasting and ordering?
Data on historical sales and buying patterns alone is not enough to solely base an accurate forecast on. In order to achieve accurate forecasts, it is essential to include not only historical sales data, but also information about inventory and past and future events that may affect sales. Artificial intelligence will then be able to assess the impact of these factors on sales more accurately and offer more precise predictions.

Quant now supports Single Sign On
In today’s fast-paced retail environment, managing multiple applications and systems efficiently is essential for success. Yet, with so many platforms and tools required to manage the operations properly, managing login credentials for each of them separately can become a hassle and a security risk for your business.
That is why Quant has recently integrated the option to activate Microsoft Single Sign-On within its Retail Planning edition.
Activating SSO in Quant allows you to facilitate user access, enhance security, and significantly improve productivity.

AI in retail? It won't be without work.
Every few years, a new disruptive technology comes along that promises to revolutionize more than just retail. Artificial intelligence is certainly not a technology that will magically solve our problems on its own, but its use can bring significant benefits, whether in the form of automated decision making or machine learning.
But it won't be without work! In fact, it's more true than ever for AI applications that data is the foundation.
Let's take a look at some examples of retail AI deployments that have worked in the field.
