Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with generating a price schedule are described. In one embodiment, for each customer segment of a plurality of customer segments, a per-segment value of an approximate objective function for the customer segment is determined by an optimizer, and a ratio of the per-segment value to a sum of all per-segment values for the customer segments is computed. The inventory quantity is allocated amongst the customer segments according to the ratio for each customer segment to form an inventory quantity for each customer segment. For each customer segment, a promotion portion of the price schedule that maximizes the objective function by the optimizer is determined. A quantity of remaining inventory allocated to the plurality of customer segments at an end of the regular season is aggregated. A markdown portion of the price schedule for the item that maximizes the objective function is determined by the optimizer. The promotion portion and the markdown portion are combined to create the price schedule for the item.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with controlling inventory depletion by offering different prices to different customers are described. In one embodiment, a method includes establishing first and second allocations of fulfillment centers to different geographic regions during a markdown phase. Different price schedules are determined for the orders to be fulfilled during the markdown phase based on the first and second allocations. A predicted profit is generated for the orders fulfilled under each of the different price schedules. A price schedule corresponding to the first allocation is selected as resulting in a greater predicted profit than another one of the different price schedules. A sale terminal is controlled to enact the selected price schedule during the markdown phase to cause fulfillment of the incoming orders according to the first allocation of the fulfillment centers.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a recommendation for an additional item in response to receiving a basket of goods determine a type for the basket of goods from a set of basket types, receive a set of additional targeted items as target recommendations and receive a history of received types of baskets of goods. Embodiments iteratively perform a clustering into a plurality of clusters of each of the basket types based on the history of received types of baskets of goods, and preference updating for each of the targeted items into each of the plurality of clusters. The iteratively performing, after a plurality of iterations, outputs a sequence of mappings and a sequence of preference parameters. Embodiments generate a frequency of tabulation of mappings from the sequence of mappings and then generate the recommendation based on the sequence of mappings, the sequence of preference parameters and the frequency of tabulation of mappings.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with self-tuning optimization of a replenishment policy of an item are described. In one embodiment, the method includes determining an initial replenishment policy of the item. A performance of the initial replenishment policy is determined based upon past performance of the initial replenishment policy. The initial replenishment policy is revised to get a service level of the item for future sales periods closer to a target service level of the item. Information is forwarded in real-time about the revised replenishment policy to an order fulfillment facility.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with forecasting customer channel choice using cross-channel loyalty are described. In one embodiment, a method includes accessing historical values for each of one or more loyalty variables for respective customers. The method also includes determining respective loyalty variable predictors for each of the one or more loyalty variables for each customer based on the historical values. In response to a trigger event associated with a given customer, the loyalty variable predictors for the customer are used to estimate a present value of each of the one or more loyalty variables for the customer. The present value of each of the loyalty variables is input to a forecast model that calculates, for each channel, a probability that the customer will make a purchase using the channel. The purchase probabilities are provided for use in selecting a marketing message for the customer.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with computing and generating schedule data structures for items in a display are described. In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a sales data structure corresponding to a store and analyzing sales records for items associated with subcategories to calculate a subcategory profit contribution score for each subcategory. The method may also include selecting a first subcategory from the subcategories as a candidate subcategory of items and analyzing the sales records to calculate an item profit contribution score for each of the items assigned to the candidate subcategory. A first item is selected from the candidate subcategory to be placed on a promotional display space, based upon the item profit contribution score of the first item. A schedule data structure is generated that assigns the first item to the promotional display space.

Abstract: Embodiments detect fraud of risk targets that include both customer accounts and cashiers. Embodiments receive historical point of sale (“POS”) data and divide the POS data into store groupings. Embodiments create a first aggregation of the POS data corresponding to the customer accounts and a second aggregation of the POS data corresponding to the cashiers. Embodiments calculate first features corresponding to the customer accounts and second features corresponding to the cashiers. Embodiments filter the risk targets based on rules and separate the filtered risk targets into a plurality of data ranges. For each combination of store groupings and data ranges, embodiments train an unsupervised machine learning model. Embodiments then apply the unsupervised machine learning models after the training to generate first anomaly scores for each of the customer accounts and cashiers.

Abstract: One example of computerized inventory redistribution control includes, for each location inventory record in a set of location inventory records, calculating a quantity change that will bring a current item quantity to a different item quantity for the location inventory record. Determining a cost of a minimum-cost redistribution among the physical locations to effect the quantity changes. Determining a scaling factor that maximizes total revenue when the quantity changes are scaled by the scaling factor after deducting the cost scaled by the scaling factor. Generating transfer instructions for a redistribution of the item by scaling the transfer quantities of the minimum-cost redistribution by the scaling factor. Transmitting each transfer instruction to a computing device associated with a physical location indicated in the transfer instruction.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with incrementally swapping items in an assortment are described. In one embodiment, a computing system includes demand logic configured to read data from an electronic data structure that defines an assortment. The assortment defines a subset of items from a product category. The demand logic is configured to generate forecasted changes to an associated metric value by generating demand transference values for (i) individually removing each item presently in the assortment and (ii) individually adding each item of a set of available items of the product category. The computing system includes assortment logic configured to transform the electronic data structure that defines the assortment according to the forecasted changes by incrementally swapping items in the assortment for new items in the available set of items until the forecasted changes between items in the assortment and new items in the set of available items satisfy a predefined condition.
