SymphonyAI Retail CPG, a leading provider of end-to-end, integrated AI-powered merchandising, marketing, and supply chain solutions for retailers and CPG manufacturers, today announced that implementation of its shelf planning and assortment solutions will expand beyond Metro Romania to more than 8,000 Metro and Makro locations in Eastern Europe, including Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia.
“We look forward to continue growing with Metro as they implement shelf and assortment planning in thousands of additional locations.”
With a flexible model for local owner-operated wholesale and cash-and-carry franchisees, Metro Romania sought to automate and speed planograms across its locations for compliance while allowing localization to meet shopper preferences. In selecting SymphonyAI Retail CPG, Metro Digital GmbH selected a vendor with market-leading solutions and deep retail and wholesale domain expertise. The resulting initial deployment provides assortment optimization which is expected to increase revenues for the company’s franchisees.
