In the Consumer Goods Cloud data model, several objects are linked to the Product2 object. These include Assortment Product, Assessment Task Product, and Promotion Product. This linkage is essential for comprehensive product management within the Consumer Goods Cloud.

These fields on the Retail Store object differentiate it from the Account object, providing specific information about store operations, preferred visit timings, and shipping details.

Out of Stock, Share of Shelf, and SKU Facings are three KPIs that can be derived using Planogram detection. A Planogram is a visual representation of how products should be arranged on a shelf. Planogram detection is a feature that uses Einstein Vision to compare the actual shelf image with the expected planogram image and calculate metrics such as:

Out of Stock, which measures the percentage of products that are missing from the shelf.

Share of Shelf, which measures the percentage of space occupied by a product or brand on a shelf.

SKU Facings, which measures the number of times a product SKU is visible on a shelf. Verified References: [Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud Implementation Guide], page 23-24.

A data requirement to support successful creation of the Tableau CRM app for Consumer Goods Cloud is that products must be associated to retail stores. This is because the Tableau CRM app analyzes the sales performance and product distribution across different stores and segments, and identifies opportunities and gaps for product placement and availability. Without associating products to retail stores, the app cannot provide accurate and meaningful insights. Verified References: [Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud Implementation Guide], page 37.

The object where a Consumer Goods Cloud Admin needs to establish the expected value for the planogram metrics is Assessment Indicator Definition. A planogram is a visual representation of how products should be arranged on a shelf. A planogram metric is a measure of how well the actual shelf image matches the expected planogram image. An Assessment Indicator Definition is an object that defines an indicator or metric that can be used to assess the performance or compliance of a retail store or an action plan task. By creating an Assessment Indicator Definition for the planogram metric, such as out of stock, share of shelf, or SKU facings, an admin can establish the expected value for that metric and use it to calculate the actual value based on the shelf image.
