Abstract. The paper presents a study of some features of the management of the range of goods in the retail trade. The feature of fast rates of branch development in Russia and abroad is reflected, and the factors allowing to predict further growth and development of retail are specified. Special attention is paid to the availability of resources for the organization of trading business and their rapid turnover. Preconditions of high level of competition in the sphere of retail trade are formulated, and the assumption of its further growth is made. In this regard, the main directions of trade enterprise management are considered, and the management of the range of goods as the most significant is highlighted. The results of the study of buyers on the degree of satisfaction with the range of stores in corporate retail chains (retail), as well as their actions in the case of non-satisfaction of consumer choice. The study showed that professionally competent assortment management can significantly improve the competitiveness of the trading enterprise, and the most problematic area of assortment management is the feedback from the buyer and the identification of unsatisfied demand. In this regard, an innovative new way of managing the assortment was proposed on the basis of establishing feedback with the buyer through the installation of displays, which will be presented not only from the range of products that are already in the store, but also one that can be presented. At the same time, this display can be connected to the navigation option in the trading floor, if the desired product is not found by the buyer. The information received from the buyer, processed automatically will be the basis for the adjustment of the range or range of goods as a whole.
Keywords: retail trade, assortment management, innovation, consumer choice research, trade enterprise management, category management.
