Launched in 1989, Galleria is the world’s leading provider of advanced automated retail optimization solutions, focusing on providing best-of-breed assortment and space management solutions to large Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) retailers worldwide. Based in Cheshire, UK, and Chicago, USA, the company is unique in its ability to deliver automated and synchronized assortment and space planning solutions at a national, cluster, or store specific level.

Since 1999 Galleria has led the field in the automation of the planogram creation process. Employing inventive patent-pending principles the first examples of operational store specific planogram production include the “SSPOG” (Store Specific Planogram) project within Tesco Stores, and the Convenience Store planogram engine offered as a service by the buying group NISA to its members.

Since these successful projects Galleria has concentrated entirely on providing automated optimization solutions to retailers within its niche focus - demand intelligence, cluster, assortment & space optimization with our overall objective - to improve bottom line performance for the retail sector. Galleria’s solutions have enabled retailers to achieve sales uplifts of between 4-10%, optimize inventory levels and reduce instances of wastage and markdowns.

Galleria has invested substantially in its product and market development. It now has the industry’s strongest product suite in the areas of cluster, assortment and space optimization. Galleria works with three of the top ten global retailers, and partners with IBM, Microsoft and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to provide the company with the international bandwidth necessary to satisfy the growing demand for its solutions.
