Claims9
An automated system for the allocating and costing of retail display space, the system comprising:
- a memory that stores program modules and data;
- a processor coupled to the memory;
- a user interface program module executable by the processor for receiving input from system users for processing and for storage into the memory;
- an analytics engine program module executable by the processor for organizing, analyzing and aggregating statistical data, including statistical data stored in the system's memory and statistical data imported from sources external to the system;
- and
- a placements engine program module executable by the processor for analyzing the user input received by the user interface program module, the statistical data aggregated by the analytics engine program, and other stored and/or retrieved information to best allocate the retail display space, and to store the best allocation of the retail display space to the memory.

A method for the allocating and costing of retail display space, the method comprising:
- receiving input from system users and storing it into memory;
- organizing, analyzing and aggregating statistical data, including statistical data stored in the system's memory and statistical data imported from sources external to the system;
- and
- analyzing user input, statistical data, and other stored and/or retrieved information to best allocate retail display space, and to store the best allocation to the memory.
