A better way to SEE the data

We all love data. It gives us so much information about our products and helps us merchandise in a scientific way. However, sometimes it can be a headache when you have to deal with the numbers with a naked eye.

But worry no more, we created something in Smart Merchandiser to help you actually SEE the data: Heat Map.

Heat Map

Heat Map is a feature introduced in v3.3. It visualizes product data in a category and displays it from hot to cold. Using Heat Map, you’ll have a much clearer view of the entire category in terms of how products perform, thus making merchandising much easier.

How to display the Heat Map

Go to Sequence Tab, select a category and go to Analytics Overlay. You’ll see a button called “Heat Map”. Click it and the heat map overlay will appear.

Select correct data
The Heat Map, by default, displays the inventory data. You can select other analytics data like items sold, product views, etc. Note that you need to specify the date range for some of the metrics for them to make sense, like items sold.
