Retailbiz interviewed us as multiple award winners at the
NORA Solutions Partner Awards 2023
They wanted to know
What it means to us at SMART IN PLANNING to be award winners
Why we think the Awards are a valuable asset for the industry
This is what our CEO & Founder, Susan Martin had to say ….
“These wins are so meaningful to me personally, and to the SMART IN PLANNING brand.
Since starting the business nine years ago, I’ve been striving to put Merchandise Planning on the map. It’s a part of retail that is not that well understood and is hugely under-utilised – but it can make the difference of being profitable and staying in business.
Winning an award every year, for five consecutive years since the inaugural NORA event, tells me I’m having an impact.”

“The Awards are powerful because we don’t publish client names and logos. We treat our work as confidential, which can make it challenging to build credibility. These awards are voted by retailers, so the results truly showcase the reach and support we have. It’s our clients and community speaking for us, better than we could ever position ourselves.
I love that NORA has created this platform that recognises the hard work and passion that solution partners contribute behind the scenes. It’s also a wonderful validation of my team’s great work (from someone other than me).”
