Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with computing and generating schedule data structures for items in a display are described. In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a sales data structure corresponding to a store and analyzing sales records for items associated with subcategories to calculate a subcategory profit contribution score for each subcategory. The method may also include selecting a first subcategory from the subcategories as a candidate subcategory of items and analyzing the sales records to calculate an item profit contribution score for each of the items assigned to the candidate subcategory. A first item is selected from the candidate subcategory to be placed on a promotional display space, based upon the item profit contribution score of the first item. A schedule data structure is generated that assigns the first item to the promotional display space.
