Inclusion criteria
- Product discovery & merchandising: AI onsite search, recommendations, visual AI, and merchandising.
- Pricing, assortment & demand planning: demand forecasting, assortment and allocation, and price / markdown optimization.
- Marketing, personalization & loyalty: personalization, customer-data platforms, email / SMS, loyalty, reviews, and retail media.
- Merchandise operations & post-purchase: product content / PIM, store and shelf operations, fraud, and returns.
- Retail analytics & profitability: retail / e-commerce analytics, profitability, and marketplace intelligence.
This vendor set is deliberately broad: a returns-management tool does not do onsite search, and a fraud-protection vendor does not do demand planning. Each vendor is scored on its actual coverage of every dimension - a dimension a vendor's product category structurally does not address scores zero, not a penalty for missing evidence.
