Most inventory analysis and sales reports don\u2019t take into account the influence of external factors, which can range from weather and local events to macroeconomic factors and market conditions.

Category A is the high revenue generating stores, Category B is the medium revenue generating stores, and Category C is the low revenue generating stores. Within each category, we further split them into stores with high, medium, or low affinity for premium products. We arrived at this categorisation based on the location characteristics of existing stores where premium products have done well in the past.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The test sets were stores where the premium products were placed and control sets, where the premium products were not placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To validate the hypothesis of whether GeoIQ was giving the right set of stores, the brand\u2019s team did an A\/B testing for these products and placed the premium products in all 120 stores.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><\/th><th><strong>Count of store code<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Increase in sales per store<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Cat A<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>41<\/strong><\/th><th><\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">High Affinity for premium products<\/th><th>15<\/th><th>1.5X<\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Medium Affinity for premium products<\/th><th>17<\/th><th>1.13X<\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Low Affinity for premium products<\/th><th>9<\/th><th>X<\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Cat B<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>33<\/strong><\/th><th><\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">High Affinity for premium products<\/th><th>5<\/th><th>2Y<\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Medium Affinity for premium products<\/th><th>9<\/th><th>1.25Y<\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Low Affinity for premium products<\/th><th>19<\/th><th>Y<\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Cat C<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>16<\/strong><\/th><th><\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">High Affinity for premium products<\/th><th>5<\/th><th>No visible increase<\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Medium Affinity for premium products<\/th><th>5<\/th><th>No visible increase<\/th><\/tr><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Low Affinity for premium products<\/th><th>6<\/th><th>No visible increase<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inference\"><\/span>Inference: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Within high and medium-revenue-generating stores, there was a visible increase in the sales of the overall store by placing premium products.

This highlights the need for indicators that can subtly capture these trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, our study found that localities with a high concentration of dental clinics and extracurricular activity centers often reflect a spending behavior that goes beyond essentials\u2014signaling a focus on wellness and a well-rounded lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of these use cases underscore the transformative impact of location data and AI-powered prediction models in merchandise placement. By leveraging GeoIQ\u2019s insights, brands can not only optimise inventory allocation but also achieve significant improvements in sales and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first case, the thoughtful selection of stores based on revenue categories and affinity for premium products resulted in a 45% increase in sales\u2014proving the value of precise, data-backed decisions. The second case further illustrates how sometimes unconventional indicators can reveal hidden market potential for high-value products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GeoIQ\u2019s ability to integrate diverse external datasets\u2014such as demographic patterns, Points-of-Interest, and local infrastructure\u2014ensures that brands gain a holistic perspective on their catchment areas. This enables them to make well-informed decisions that resonate with market demand while minimizing risks like dead stock or over-distribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While placing products across stores, intelligent merch-mix and demand prediction answers help you optimise your inventory distribution across stores.
