Merchandising Solution now available
The Merchandising Solution is now available as part of UiPath Supply Chain and Retail Solutions.
UiPath Supply Chain and Retail Solutions are part of the Industry & Department Solutions portfolio, a collection of AI-powered applications designed to support specific business functions with decision intelligence. These solutions combine UiPath's automation capabilities with demand forecasting, optimization, and recommendation models to help operational teams make faster, more consistent decisions. This release also includes the Inventory Management Solution and the Commercial Pricing Solution.
Context
The Merchandising Solution helps organizations shape demand through assortments, promotions, and campaign decisions, while coordinating those decisions with inventory availability and pricing strategy. It is supported through Peak capabilities focused on demand shaping, promotions, and assortment-related decisions.
What it does
The Merchandising Solution analyzes merchandising data to evaluate trade-offs and surface recommendations. Core capabilities include:
- Demand shaping analysis — evaluates how assortment, promotion, and campaign decisions influence demand behavior across products and locations.
- Cross-functional coordination — assesses how merchandising actions interact with inventory availability and pricing strategy to surface downstream risks or opportunities.
- Scenario evaluation — helps teams understand the potential impact of merchandising decisions before execution.
Who it's for
The Merchandising Solution is designed for merchandising managers, category planners, and commercial teams responsible for assortment, promotion, and campaign decisions across products and locations.
Why use it
Consider the Merchandising Solution if your organization:
- Plans assortments, promotions, or campaigns across many products or locations.
- Needs to coordinate merchandising decisions with inventory availability and pricing strategy.
- Wants to evaluate the impact of merchandising actions before executing them.
- Relies on manual analysis or fragmented tools to plan or assess merchandising initiatives.
- Seeks more consistent, data-driven merchandising decisions at scale.
Key outputs
The Merchandising Solution produces insights and recommendations to support merchandising decisions:
- Insights into merchandising performance and opportunities.
- Indicators highlighting potential risks or constraints (such as inventory shortfalls during planned promotions).
- Recommendations for assortment or promotional plan adjustments.
The Merchandising Solution does not execute merchandising actions. Teams use its outputs to inform decisions in their existing execution systems.
Data requirements
To generate accurate insights, the Merchandising Solution requires data from your existing enterprise systems covering products, demand, inventory, and commercial information. This data is integrated into the platform during onboarding.
