This year’s ICON conference also saw Crisp partner The Clorox Company showcase how they are leveraging Crisp to automate planogram creation across over 14,000 unique planograms across 16 core brands and nine categories. 

“As retail complexity grows, our teams need faster, more scalable ways to manage planogram work across brand, category, and store-specific requirements,” said Eric Liberatore, Capabilities Manager at The Clorox Company. “We’re seeing 50% to 75% time savings per planogram, and our category advisors are spending that time on strategy instead.”
