BURBANK, Calif.--()--Optimum Retailing (OR), the in-store intelligence and merchandise management platform for the world’s most popular retail stores, today announced the launch of Realgram AI, a groundbreaking visual merchandising platform that auto-generates store-specific planograms in one click using real-time inventory and aligned with business goals. Attendees at NRF 2025 can experience Realgram AI in action at OR’s Booth #753.

Designed to solve one of retail’s most persistent challenges—managing in-store merchandising at the inventory level at scale—Realgram AI empowers retailers across industries to generate custom planograms for individual locations in minutes based on business objectives. This revolutionary platform redefines operational efficiency, profitability, and sustainability for retail brands managing hundreds or thousands of stores.

“Realgram AI represents a monumental leap forward for visual merchandising,” said Sam Vise, CEO and Founder of Optimum Retailing. “The ability to leverage generative AI to develop store-specific planograms in just one click will make it easier than ever for retailers to achieve precise, location-specific merchandising that drives profitability and supports sustainability goals.”

A Smarter Approach to Visual Merchandising

Realgram AI’s custom, store-specific planograms deliver four core benefits to retailers, each aimed at streamlining operations and improving business outcomes:

  • Effortless scalability: Generate and deliver individualized planograms to thousands of stores in minutes, allowing for real-time, store-specific adjustments to meet current inventory and operational needs.
  • Strategic merchandising: Align merchandising strategies with business objectives optimized for profit, inventory levels, and sales performance—all specific to individual store conditions.
  • Exceptional accuracy: Lower operational complexity, enhance execution, and boost compliance, resulting in fewer misaligned displays and lost sales opportunities.
  • Increased sustainability: Reduce overproduction, waste, and environmental impact. Retailers can achieve a more sustainable supply chain by dynamically allocating products to stores based on inventory, capacity, and demand.

Advanced Data Capabilities Fuel Retailer Insights

Beyond Realgram AI, OR’s advanced Precision Merchandising capabilities offer today’s retailers unprecedented visibility into store performance.

By tracking sales at the store, zone, and fixture levels, OR’s platform empowers cross-functional teams with actionable insights to enhance their buying, planning, and allocation strategies. Powered by AI-driven analytics, Precision Merchandising helps retailers:

  • Conduct historical sales/product analysis and in-season optimizations.
  • Plan for future merchandising adjustments.
  • Leverage intuitive data delivery via ORKA (Optimum Retailing Knowledge Assistant), a generative AI chatbot that allows teams to query and access on-demand insights.

Precision Merchandising’s unified retail approach ensures corporate teams can optimize assortment and allocation, ensure visual merchandising consistency, and maximize in-store profitability—all while supporting more sustainable operations.

Driving Sustainability Through Smarter Merchandising

Realgram AI’s ability to tailor planograms to store-specific inventory offers retailers a more powerful approach to reducing overproduction, overallocation, and waste, resulting in a smaller environmental footprint.

Overproduction has long been a key contributor to waste in retail, with excess products frequently ending up in landfills. To change this reality for the better, Realgram AI’s on-demand planogramming ensures each store receives only the products it can support, optimizing inventory usage and reducing shipping and production emissions.

“Retailers face growing pressure to meet sustainability goals while still driving profits,” added Vise. “With Realgram AI, retail leaders no longer have to choose between those two objectives. Our tool ensures every store’s display is aligned with real-time inventory and local demand, reducing waste, cutting costs, and improving sell-through.”
