November 12, 2013

QuantiSense, a provider of retail exception management software, has announced that specialty women's apparel retailer Christopher & Banks Corp. has licensed both QuantiSense Playbooks and QuantiSense Retail Business Intelligence to help automate the management of retail exceptions across its 598 stores in 44 states, as well as to provide the business analytics platform for their enterprise.

"We are excited to start using a solution that will provide us the ability to easily and quickly identify the more meaningful adjustments for leveraging our allocation, purchasing and planning decisions," said LuAnn Via, president and CEO of Christopher & Banks. "We do not have the luxury of investing important management time to find and address exceptions that have little impact. Finding and managing the retail exceptions that matter the most, whether it be on avoiding stock-outs of product in stores where we could be selling more or making adjustments to store size profile curves to better meet what our customer needs is an opportunity for us. The QuantiSense solution is designed to quickly show our people what actions to take on an item and store basis to both enhance and accelerate our allocation, purchasing and planning decisions."
