Benefit From Comprehensive Analytical Solutions
DemandTec, Inc. (NASDAQ: DMAN), the collaborative optimisation network

selling apparel, footwear, and short lifecycle merchandise.
"Like never before, retailers can apply advanced analytics and shopper

Softlines uses the most advanced science available, allowing for deeper
intelligence on volatile merchandise, and providing a multi-dimensional
forecast to better support shopper-centricity at store and item levels."
DemandTec now offers three solutions particularly suited for softlines
retailers:
- DemandTec Lifecycle Price Optimization (TM)- The premier solution in
the industry for leveraging consumer demand when making pricing
decisions across a product's lifecycle. A new software service,
Lifecycle Pricing for Softlines,complements Everyday Price
Optimization, Markdown Optimization, and Promotion Optimization, the
existing software services used by and built for retailers to price
their fast moving consumer goods.
- DemandTec End-to-End Promotion Management(TM)- A complete solution
which enables softlines retailers to effectively plan and execute
highly versioned advertisements across media channels. Merchants and
planners can manage the entire promotions process, from collaborative
promotion planning to event development, in-store execution and
post-event analysis.
- DemandTec Shopper Insights(TM)- An advanced solution giving retailers
clear visibility into behavior at the shopper and segment levels in
order to help merchants make better product decisions that drive
increased penetration and buy rate across the entire store.
Three additional DemandTec services now bolster these solutions:
- Rebuy Optimization - Identifies optimal item quantities in
each store to rebuy for volatile merchandise by providing
recommendations at the SKU level. The software service uses pattern
recognition technology to provide recommendations for stores that did
not previously own an item, accurately projecting demand for new stores
that are patterned after stores with sales history.
- Size Profiling and Pack Optimization - Optimises store-level size
distribution based on shopper demand and determines optimal pre-pack
configurations to meet size demand by store.
- Store Cluster Analysis - Uses advanced analysis to identify store
clusters and the relationships between variables among the clusters.
The service also defines the fewest number of store clusters which
reflect true drivers of demand to capture real business value for
increasing profitability and reducing markdowns.
