1 MARKDOWN SUITE Craft meaningful markdowns that maximize return on inventory, margins and sell-through.

2 AI PRICING IS NO LONGER A NICE TO HAVE ITS A MUST HAVE TO SURVIVE IN RETAIL Localized assortments, complex shopping journeys, ongoing new product introductions, and constant markdown events are the new retail reality. And while better planning and supply chain execution can help manage risk, there always will be unexpected disruptions. Quality issues, late shipments, unexpected weather and other factors throw plans off track. The result is an unbalanced mix of merchandise and varying store and channel inventory levels within the enterprise. Markdowns represent an essential component of a retailer s pricing strategy and brand communication. But simply executing across the board enterprise markdowns, without understanding what your customers want, can hemorrhage profits and alienate your customers. Leverage AI to quickly respond to shopper desires while incorporating business strategies into markdown plans that deliver profitable results with strategic markdown management and optimization.

5 Always Learning, Always Current Revionics solutions factor in the most current data to reflect fast-changing market and customer factors. Revionics science learns from all the new inputs and can automatically infer new item demand from similar attributes or product hierarchy. This ensures relevant, current recommendations, which drive yearover-year benefits. Slow Movers For slow selling items, Revionics Markdown Optimization uses aggregated demand models, mitigating the inaccuracy of individual SKU/ store models for those items.

6 Continuously Evaluating It is difficult for users to know if a markdown should be taken or if it should continue to sell at regular price. Every day, the solution continuously reevaluates if, when reevaluates if, when, how deep, and how deep and how many markdowns should be taken. If it isn t needed, it won t be taken. Budgets The Revionics solution can constrain the markdown plan to a time-bound fiscal budget based on a seasonal or fashion department s designated markdown budget. Additionally, the solution ranks markdown opportunities, allowing you to choose the most beneficial markdowns to execute.
