The Galleria system uses store-specific fixture, space, and product performance data, to create merchandise plans that optimize the range and inventory at the store level to fit the exact space available. Each category can be defined at the enterprise, cluster, or store-specific level depending on its dynamics, according to the vendor.

Morrisons operates 380 stores around the U.K. and employs more than 114,000 associates.
