  • AUTOMATED MAPPING OF PRODUCT ADJACENCY GROUPS WITH MERCHANDISING PERSISTENCE LOGIC
    Publication number: 20130226825
    Abstract: A system for generating a product subgroup map for a product adjacency group is disclosed. In one example, a user interface is configured for presenting data on product subgroups and receiving user inputs for user-editable mapping criteria for mapping the product subgroups in the product adjacency group. The user interface has options for editing and assigning priority values to the user-editable mapping criteria. The system generates a combined set of mapping criteria for the user-selected product subgroups based on the user-edited mapping criteria and non-user-editable mapping criteria, including a persistence criterion that prioritizes persisting product subgroup mapping positions from a previous product subgroup map. The system generates a product subgroup map based on the combined set of mapping criteria for the user-selected product subgroups and a set of physical store layout data for at least one store, and provides a graphical output of the product subgroup map.
