About merchandising solution
The UiPath solution for merchandising helps organizations shape demand through assortments, promotions, and campaign decisions, while aligning those decisions with inventory availability and pricing strategy.
The UiPath solution for merchandising is currently supported through the following Peak capabilities:
- Retail Pricing (Markdown Pricing) capabilities
- Inventory insights and demand behavior analysis
- Platform capabilities that allow evaluation of demand and pricing trade-offs
This solution supports merchandising decisions that influence what products are offered, when they are promoted, and how demand is directed across products and locations. It is designed for environments where merchandising actions must be evaluated at scale and coordinated with broader supply chain and commercial objectives.
Rather than executing merchandising actions directly, the solution focuses on generating insights and recommendations that help teams evaluate options and understand potential impact. Teams use these outputs to inform merchandising decisions in their existing execution systems and processes.
Merchandising is typically used alongside inventory management and commercial pricing to support coordinated planning across supply, demand, and commercial functions.
Scope and responsibilities
The UiPath solution for merchandising is designed to support merchandising decision-making, not to manage execution workflows or transactional updates.
Execution activities, such as publishing assortments, launching promotions, or updating campaign details, are typically handled by existing enterprise systems. This solution complements those systems by helping teams decide which merchandising actions to take, while execution remains in the systems already used by the organization.
When this solution is a good fit
You should consider using the UiPath solution for merchandising 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
This solution is particularly useful when merchandising actions have downstream effects on inventory levels, pricing outcomes, or operational performance.
