Best Retail Assortment Planning Software in 2026
Updated
Assortment planning ties product decisions to where and when you expect to sell. Compared on channel and location planning, these systems also differ in open-to-buy support, planning horizon, scenario and seasonal planning, and size and color planning. Check free-plan availability and paid-from pricing alongside the capabilities relevant to your merchandising process. Assortment.AI, NIQ, and SAS Federation Server are among the entries to consider. Think through the scope of your plans—across locations, channels, seasons, or product variants—and use those listed criteria to assess how each tool could fit your team’s planning needs.
