Key Capabilities of Intactix® Knowledge Base:

  • Automated object life cycles help manage key business objects (products, planograms, floorplans and stores) over time
  • Central datamart for storing merchandising data allows easy reporting across all planograms, floorplans, stores, etc. 
  • Powers CategoryAdvisor for planogram analysis and development with integrated access to both planogram information and POS data
  • Powers Planogram Generator for automated high-volume production of optimized, store-specific planograms

The industry-unique Intactix Knowledge Base (IKB) supports the business processes surrounding category management and provides the details necessary to drive planograms and fact-based product assortments and store clusters. Without requiring extensive customization, your system can be quickly installed and configured to supply the broad business content that you need to react to your space and assortment management challenges.
 
You can manage planograms, fixtures, floorplans, store and merchandise data, product dimensions, attributes and performance data with IKB’s powerful relational database environment. Plus, planogram exchange management and object-level access rules support collaboration between users in different organizations, enabling them to share and manage planograms. Trading partners can exchange, view and modify planograms while keeping original data elements intact.
 
“Click and Go” self-service reports enable you to pinpoint the number of stores stocking each product, which products comprise a particular planogram, and which planograms encompass each floorplan. You can also engage in web publishing and produce reports tailored to your specific business needs. Utilize IKB’s cross-planogram, store and floorplan analysis to verify planogram and product consistency as well as monitor key performance indicators. React to emerging market trends as you turn up-to-date business data into the market intelligence required to maximize ROI opportunities.
