Dataviva recognized as a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Market Guide for Retail Merchandise Financial Planning

Atlanta – Dataviva, a next-generation Retail Planning Platform, has been named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner® Market Guide for Retail Merchandise Financial Planning, published on 10 February 2025.

Merchandise financial planning sets the sales, margin and inventory targets that every buying and allocation decision has to meet. When those targets live in spreadsheets, apart from the item-level plan, the two drift apart during the season.

In our view, Dataviva Merchandise Financial Planning (listed in the report under the “Merchandising & Assortment Suite / Merchandise Financial Planning”) keeps them connected. Financial targets and the item-level assortment and supply plans run on the same platform, so planners see the effect of each decision on the numbers as they make it.
