o9 Solutions released mPower Retail 2.0, a cloud-based, end-to-end planning solution for Omni Channel merchandising process. mPower Retail is configured using o9’s revolutionary mPower Platform, the first of its kind planning and performance management platform used by Fortune 1000 companies across multiple industries.
“In our experience, there is typically $20M-$25M in incremental value for a billion dollar retailer with the right merchandising process and technology. Current merchandising software has failed to deliver the value because of long implementation cycles, poor adoption and quick obsolescence with rapidly changing business environment. mPower Retail 2.0 changes the game using cutting edge user interface, innovative Visual Prototyping methodology and unprecedented agility in the Cloud. Think iPhone vs. Flip-phones, Google vs. Yellow Pages, mPower vs. Legacy Solutions,” said Vikas Goel, General Manager, Retail and Softgoods, at o9 Solutions.
mPower Retail 2.0 supports the entire planning lifecycle including Financial Planning, Merchandise Planning, Store Planning, Assortment Guide, Assortment and Buy Planning, Demand Forecasting, Replenishment, Allocation, Marketing and Promotion workflows. A key differentiator for mPower Retail 2.0 is the integrated Market Intelligence and Predictive Analytics capability that results in vastly superior plan quality compared to the current planning solutions in the market.
“We are excited that leading retailers such as Restoration Hardware are using o9 to optimize demand, inventory and merchandise plans,” said Igor Rikalo, VP, Finance and Operations, at o9 Solutions.
o9 experts will be at NRF Conference in Booth #209 on Level 1 to demonstrate how to “mpower” your merchandising organization to create the best customer experience in the industry.
