| Overview |
|
IBM DemandTec offerings help retailers gain a deeper, more comprehensive understanding of their product categories and their shoppers. More importantly, IBM DemandTec offerings give retailers the tools to act on these insights - quickly, easily, and consistently. IBM DemandTec offerings provide industry-leading solutions that empower retailers to make sound decisions across assortment, pricing, promotion, and related marketing activities.
Features of the IBM DemandTec portfolio also influence an innovative master calendar. The master calendar, when powered by the Advanced Analytics Managed Cloud Delivery platform, works across DemandTec Price Management, DemandTec Price Optimization and DemandTec Markdown Optimization to provide an integrated, calendar view of merchandising actions to present a snapshot of plans for a category in any given time period. Similarly, a financial view in the master calendar provides an integrated forecast across DemandTec Price Optimization and DemandTec Promotion Optimization and the ability to compare that forecast to corporate targets and actual financials.
IBM DemandTec offerings deliver various solutions to help retailers succeed.
End-to-end promotion management
The most successful promotion strategies are those that connect with the most valuable shoppers. But with the thousands of vendor deals received by retailers each month, the ability to predict the impact of promotional events and plans is complex and challenging. With IBM DemandTec, retailers can manage their promotional process in collaboration with trading partners and internal marketing and merchandising teams.
IBM DemandTec end-to-end promotion management capabilities give retailers the ability to:
- Capitalize on all their opportunities and realize the full potential of each including print, mobile, in-store, web, and even social media.
- Gain deeper insight into how promotions impact each shopper segment and category with precision and certainty.
- Take advantage of technology for managing the entire promotion process.
Lifecycle price management
Every item in a store needs a price, but choosing the price that will best drive sales, volume, profitability, and support a retailer's price image, is not easy to do. With IBM DemandTec, one pricing solution provides retailers far more control over pricing all items. This includes the most popular products, slowest movers, and perishable items. From initial introduction through clearance pricing at the end of the lifecycle, retailers can:
- Automate tedious, time-consuming processes.
- Make optimal pricing decisions with pricing to its full strategic potential across the lifecycle of a product.
- Understand and control the impact that consumer demand has on each pricing decision.
Assortment optimization
The best assortment is the one shoppers expect to see on store shelves, but also the one that delivers the best profits. This removes guessing. IBM DemandTec Assortment Optimization solution offers a collaborative approach for defining localized merchandise assortments through a complete understanding of what drives buying decisions. It incorporates shopper demand, space, productivity, and profitability.
Now retailers can offer items that meet unique demands or targeted shopper segments, with insights on exactly which items can be replaced or substituted for other items. Fully understand the implications of various assortments on each customer segment. And, with one common view of the shoppers, their decision trees, and the marginal additional value of each SKU to the equation, manufacturers and retailers can work together more effectively to meet the needs of shoppers and build customer loyalty.
Shopper insights
Each shopper is unique, and more than ever before, shoppers are empowered with technology and transparency. To support shopper-centricity and maintain their competitive edge, retailers and their trading partners must harness key insights about their shoppers and collaborate on devising offers that truly excite them and drive long-term growth.
With IBM DemandTec Shopper Insights, retailers can:
- Use insights about shopper segments to set broad corporate strategies.
- Identify merchandising triggers to influence the behaviors of key shopper segments.
- Share insights with trading partners to collaborate on marketing and merchandising efforts.
- Fuel decisions throughout the entire business planning lifecycle with shopper analytics.
IBM DemandTec Shopper Insights delivers deep, actionable insights through interactive dashboards and shopper analytics - many embedded directly in IBM DemandTec's applications.

Licensing
IBM International Program License Agreement including the License Information document and Proof of Entitlement (PoE) govern your use of the program. PoEs are required for all authorized use. Part number products only, offered outside of Passport Advantage , where applicable, are license only and do not include Software Maintenance.
This software license includes Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance).
These programs are licensed under the IBM Program License Agreement (IPLA) and the associated Agreement for Acquisition of Software Maintenance, which provide for support with ongoing access to releases and versions of the program. IBM includes one year of Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) with the initial license acquisition of each program acquired. The initial period of Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) can be extended by the purchase of a renewal option, if available. These programs have a one-time license charge for use of the program and an annual renewable charge for the enhanced support that includes telephone assistance (voice support for defects during normal business hours), as well as access to updates, releases, and versions of the program as long as support is in effect.

If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the program and you are the original licensee, you may obtain a refund of the amount you paid for it, if within 30 days of your invoice date you return the program and its PoE to the party from whom you obtained it. If you downloaded the program, you may contact the party from whom you acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.

| Statement of good security practices |
|
IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered destroyed or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
