This webinar intorduces the Universal Hierarchy, an industry-wide classification system for General Merchandise & Course Materials that allows for a more granular categorization of merchandise; which can result in higher quality, more actionable data. Several ICBA stores already have started using the Universal Hierarchy to improve their top and bottom lines.

Migrating to a new Hierarchy, however, is not a simple choice - it requires a store-wide commitment to the initiative and a close partnership with your POS provider. To help identify the benefits of re-thinking your merchandise classifications and to better acquaint you with the Universal Hierarchy, this webinar will:

  • Explain the Universal Hierarchy and its associated item attributes
  • Outline the benefits of the new system
  • Review what decisions need to be made in order to ensure a successful migration
