In 2023 Southern Co-op implemented SymphonyAI Retail CPG Suite to deploy AI-driven assortment and space planning across its food business, participating in a joint deployment with Scotmid that covers nearly 500 managed and franchise convenience stores across regions of the United Kingdom. The deployment targets store-level and category-level assortment and shelving decisions, aligning with the Retail Management category requirements for assortment optimization and space-aware planning.
The implementation centers on SymphonyAI Retail CPG Suite modules for assortment optimization, space planning, shelf profile and shelf capacity ranging, and AI-driven clustering to produce customer-centric assortments at the SKU level. The solution is described as cloud-native SaaS, providing centralized access to range and space workflows and enabling rapid generation of macro and micro space plans informed by basket, loyalty, store and shelf space, supply chain, and market data.
Operational coverage is defined at store-by-store and fixture-by-fixture granularity, enabling category planners and store teams to tailor assortments and shelf allocations for local customer demand. The platform also incorporates computer vision based store intelligence as an adjunct capability, supporting store-level shelf profile assessment and on-shelf availability analysis without naming specific third party tools.
Governance and process changes emphasize rapid up-skilling of food teams and closer programmatic partnership with the vendor to accelerate rollout, with users able to move seamlessly between ranging and space modules and workflows. Central trading and format functions are expected to adopt the platform as the primary workflow for range and space projects, creating tighter alignment between central category planners and store operations.
Expected outcomes stated by Southern Co-op include quicker identification and execution of macro and micro space improvements, improved on-shelf availability through shelf capacity ranging, and increased member and customer satisfaction by better aligning product assortments at the SKU and store level. These expectations are presented as forward-looking benefits tied to the SymphonyAI Retail CPG Suite implementation within the Retail Management domain.
