Oracle Retail Planning Solutions Decoded: From Assortment to Optimization 

In retail, planning is no longer a back-office task — it’s the frontline of customer experience.

Today’s top retailers plan in real time, adjusting to shifts in customer behavior, local demand, promotions, and even weather. But planning only drives results when it’s executed instantly. 

That’s why leading brands rely on Oracle Retail Planning solutions, integrated with Oracle Xstore, to move from strategy to store without delays or silos. 

What is Oracle Retail Planning? 

Oracle Retail Planning Solutions are a suite of AI-powered tools that help retailers: 

• Tailor assortments for each store and channel 

• Optimize space usage for higher profitability 

• Set dynamic prices to protect margins 

• Forecast demand with predictive accuracy 

When connected with Oracle Xstore Point of Service, these plans turn into real-time actions — ensuring the right products, prices, and promotions reach customers instantly

Why Real-Time Execution Matters 

Plans Alone Don’t Win. Execution Does.  

You can design the perfect assortment or promotion, but if it takes days to hit the store floor, you’ve already lost ground. 

Today’s retail reality: 

• Trends change in weeks, not seasons 

• Customers expect “now,” not “next week” 

• What works in one store may fail in another 

By integrating Oracle Retail Planning with Oracle Xstore, retailers bridge strategy and execution, eliminating sync lags and operational silos.
