Our verdict on AssortSmart
AssortSmart is retail assortment planning software from Impact Analytics for merchandising teams managing multiple stores, regions, or channels. It supports localized range decisions using demand, sales, inventory, product, and financial data. The product is positioned for apparel, accessories, footwear, electronics, appliances, specialty, and other multi-location retailers that need to align product options with local demand. Its scope covers location planning, seasonal planning, channel planning, and scenario planning.
The product’s strongest area is assortment depth. Demand-based store clustering supports decisions by store group, region, and channel, while breadth and depth recommendations help planners shape the range. Option-count analysis and gap detection identify product-mix issues, carry-forward analysis supports prior-season decisions, and new-product forecasting adds attribute intelligence to planning. Buy recommendations connect assortment choices with purchasing decisions, giving merchandising teams a more connected workflow from range design to buying.
Scenario planning adds another decision layer: AssortSmart can provide AI-assisted recommendations against margin, sell-through, or inventory targets. Planners can review and approve recommendations, while administrator-defined guardrails provide control over how automated suggestions are managed. The published purchasing model uses contact-sales calls to action rather than published plan tiers, so retailers should expect a sales-led evaluation. AssortSmart suits teams that prioritize localized assortment depth, structured approvals, and scenario-based decisions. Retailers looking specifically for open-to-buy planning or a broader retail operations system should consider a more expansive alternative.
