Computer graphical user interface for option planning

One or more computing devices comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory;
• the one or more computing devices configured, via computer-executable instructions, to perform operations, when the computer-executable instructions are executed by the one or more processors, for providing a more efficient graphical user interface, the operations comprising:
• displaying, to a user via a graphical user interface, a plurality of product segments;
• displaying, to the user via the graphical user interface, historical performance for each of the plurality of product segments, wherein the historical performance comprises historical option counts indicating how many options were offered previously within each of the plurality of product segments;
• receiving, from the user via a single graphical user interface element of the graphical user interface, a change threshold value, wherein the change threshold value is received from the user via a single selection of the single graphical user interface element of the graphical user interface;
• responsive to receiving the change threshold value via the single selection of the single graphical user interface element of the graphical user interface:
• automatically calculating an option count range for each product segment based at least in part on the change threshold value and the historical performance, wherein the option count range for each product segment differs from its corresponding historical option count value, from a previous time period, according to the change threshold value;
• automatically optimizing at least one performance indicator by automatically determining a proposed option count for each product segment, wherein each proposed option count is limited to its corresponding option count range, and wherein the proposed option counts are automatically determined to optimize the at least one performance indicator across the plurality of product segments for a new time period while adhering to one or more constraints;
• displaying, via the graphical user interface, the proposed option count for each of the plurality of product segments;
• and
• displaying, to the user via the graphical user interface, graphical representations of one or more sales targets calculated from the proposed option counts.

One or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions for execution on one or more computing devices to perform operations for providing a more efficient graphical user interface, the operations comprising:

• receiving, from a user via a graphical user interface, a selection of a product category from a plurality of available product categories;
• displaying, to the user via the graphical user interface, a plurality of product segments associated with the selected product category;
• displaying, to the user via the graphical user interface, historical performance for each of the plurality of product segments, wherein the historical performance indicates how many options were offered previously within each of the plurality of product segments;
• receiving, from the user via a single graphical user interface element of the graphical user interface, a change threshold value, wherein the change threshold value is received from the user via a single selection of the single graphical user interface element of the graphical user interface;
• responsive to receiving the change threshold value via the single selection of the single graphical user interface element of the graphical user interface:
• automatically calculating an option count range for each product segment based at least in part on the change threshold value and the historical performance, wherein the option count range for each product segment differs from its corresponding historical option count value, from a previous time period, according to the change threshold value;
• automatically optimizing at least one performance indicator by automatically determining a proposed option count for each product segment, wherein each proposed option count is limited to its corresponding option count range, and wherein the proposed option counts are automatically determined to optimize the at least one performance indicator across the plurality of product segments for a new time period while adhering to one or more constraints;
• displaying, via the graphical user interface, the proposed option count for each of the plurality of product segments;
• and
• displaying, via the graphical user interface, the optimized at least one performance indicator.
