Intelligent Store Optimization is an automated decision support application that will enable the retailer to optimize and manage macro and micro space on a store-specific level.

Customer-Centric Merchandising, will help Maxima to execute a customer-centric merchandizing strategy across hundreds of categories in full recognition of the constraints applied by the supply chain, each store’s inventory requirements and in-store space.
Galleria Foundation Services, a central hub for data repository, including business process, workflow management and security, provides the platform for integration with legacy- and third party-systems.
