New product launches, promotions, and other merchandising initiatives require months of planning and preparation involving hundreds of steps before product and fixtures arrive at the stores. Yet despite extensive upstream planning, retailers still struggle to execute their merchandise and promotional strategies due to uncoordinated planning, out-of-date information, and poor visibility into crossfunctional activity completion status.

The Reflexis Merchandising Process Manager (MPM) solution enables retailers to coordinate the many steps involved in complex merchandising projects and gain visibility into completion status by a variety of departments including merchandising, marketing, supply chain, finance, store operations, and suppliers. When integrated with Reflexis Task Manager, retailers can also streamline the launching of their merchandising initiatives to avoid unforeseen overloads that can cause suboptimal execution. Integration with Task Manager also enables the retailer to track completion levels in the stores, manage by exception, and respond to problems and opportunities using best retail practices.
