A ranked view of which lines are worth their space

Assortment Analysis

Back to home

The promise

Over two weeks, we analyze which lines in your range earn their shelf space, combining sales volume, margin contribution, and how much each line supports the rest of the basket. Lines that look weak on their own but quietly support other sales are identified separately, since removing them can cost more than it saves.

The problem

Ahead of a season change, it's common to know roughly which lines are underperforming without being fully certain which ones to actually cut. Sales figures alone can be misleading — a slow-moving item might still be the reason a customer walks in at all.

The solution

We rank your lines using a combination of volume, margin, and basket association — how often a line appears alongside other purchases. This surfaces both your clear top performers and the quieter lines that support them, giving you a fuller picture than a sales report alone.

The experience

The analysis takes two weeks from the point we receive your sales and range data. Once the report is ready, we hold a short discussion session to walk through the ranking together and answer any questions about specific lines before you make final range decisions.

The investment

¥17,000

Two-week scope, suited to independent retailers and small chains reviewing range ahead of a season.

  • · A ranked table by line
  • · Notes on supporting lines identified
  • · A short discussion session once the report is read

The proof

The ranking combines standard retail metrics with a basket-association measure that's often left out of simpler range reviews. The discussion session exists specifically so the reasoning behind each ranking is available for scrutiny, not just the final list.

The guarantee

A first conversation about your range and available data carries no obligation. If the timing doesn't suit your upcoming season change, we're glad to suggest a schedule that does.

Next steps

Send a short note about your range size and the season you're planning around. We'll confirm the data needed and a workable timeline.
