For Chief Merchandising Officers, Ariane surfaces ranging, promotions, shopper, and supplier decisions as structured cards, each with a financial impact, a recommended action, and a deadline attached, so a category team decides and nothing falls through the cracks. A live decision queue for a given category and week might combine a delist recommendation, a reprice recommendation, and a range addition, each carrying its own dollar value, alongside a total net queue value for the week.
Ariane runs six Decision Centres simultaneously, each monitoring a different commercial dimension of a category estate and generating cards only when action is needed. The Range Decision Centre issues add and delete instructions by store cluster, alongside centres covering promotions, shoppers, suppliers, price, and inventory.
