ABCXYZ Analysis is a product segmentation tool that classifies every choice in your assortment across two dimensions simultaneously. The ABC dimension ranks choices by a performance metric (such as sales or units) — A choices drive the most value, C choices the least. The XYZ dimension ranks choices by demand predictability — X choices have stable, consistent demand, Z choices are highly variable and unpredictable. Each choice receives a combined ABCXYZ ranking (AX, AY, AZ, BX, BY, BZ, CX, CY, or CZ) that tells you both how much it contributes and how reliably it sells.

Results surface as a selectable column on the Line Plan grid so you can sort, filter, and act on the segmentation within your existing planning workflow.

Configurations are managed in Settings → Intelligence. Each configuration is a named set of parameters that defines how Toolio scores and classifies your choices. You can create multiple configurations — for example, one scoring by sales and another by units — and each surfaces as its own set of columns on the Line Plan.

Note: ABCXYZ Analysis is gated behind the isAbcxyzEnabled feature flag. Contact your Customer Success Manager if you don't see it in Settings.

After saving, the configuration immediately enters Generating status while Toolio runs the first analysis.

Right-click any configuration in the list and select Edit. Changes take effect on the next recalculation cycle based on the configured update cadence.

Right-click the configuration and select Delete, then confirm. Deleting a configuration removes its columns from the Line Plan.

Each configuration in the list displays a status indicator:

The list also shows the date and time the analysis last ran under Last Triggered.

XYZ grades are determined by the coefficient of variation (CV) of a choice's demand over the configured time frame. CV measures how much demand fluctuates relative to its average — a choice with steady weekly sales has a low CV, while one with large swings has a high CV.

CV = standard deviation ÷ mean

The XYZ thresholds are fixed and cannot be configured.

Once a configuration has a Ready status, its columns are available to add to your Line Plan view.

You can sort and filter by ABCXYZ columns the same way you sort and filter any other attribute column.

ABC grades rank choices by their contribution to the metric you selected (e.g., sales revenue). A choices are in the top tier — they generate the most value. B choices are in the middle tier. C choices are in the bottom tier. The exact thresholds are set in the ABC Definition field when you create the configuration.

XYZ grades rank choices by how predictable their demand is. X choices have stable, consistent demand that is easy to forecast. Y choices have moderate variability. Z choices have highly erratic demand that is difficult to predict.

The combined grade tells you both a choice's value tier and its predictability in two letters. For example: - AX — high value, highly predictable: your most reliable, important choices. - CZ — low value, highly unpredictable: choices that add planning complexity with limited return.

Yes. You can create multiple configurations — each with a different metric, time frame, or ABC definition. Each configuration appears as its own column on Line Plan so you can compare segmentations side by side.

A choice will not receive a grade if it is excluded by the Product Hierarchy or Population Filter settings on the configuration, or if the analysis has not yet completed (status is Generating).

A failed analysis will retry on the next scheduled cadence. If it remains in a Failed state after the next update, contact your Customer Success Manager with the configuration name.
