Category Management
Our Title Information Planning System, or TIPS, is a superior category management tool that allows us to:
- Optimize the balance between sales, efficiency and presentation
- Hypothesize and conduct “what if” analyses for various performance metrics
- Fine-tune initial and replenishment distributions, resulting in higher sales and improved efficiency
- Make full use of Bookscan, as well as other syndicated and internal data, to refine title and assortment decisions
This graphic shows how TIPS provides tangible, sales-driving benefits for our retailers and supplier partners.
