Abstract:

A system for generating a product subgroup map for a product adjacency group with transition summary reporting is disclosed. In one example, a user interface is configured for presenting data on product subgroups and receiving user inputs for user-editable mapping criteria for mapping the product subgroups. The user interface has user-selectable options for editing and assigning priority values to the mapping criteria of the product subgroups. The system generates a combined set of mapping criteria for the user-selected product subgroups based on the user-edited mapping criteria and non-user-editable mapping criteria. The system generates a product subgroup map based on the combined set of mapping criteria and a set of physical store layout data for at least one store, and provides a graphical output of the product subgroup map. The system generates a report for the product subgroup map for the product adjacency group.
