We assist retailers in optimising the return on investment for their retail spaces
​​Our solutions enable you to design shelf and store layouts that foster engaging shopping experiences for your customers
-
The retail industry has experienced a significant shift. Modern consumers benefit from unmatched convenience, with nearly everything available at their fingertips with just a click.
-
There are still endless opportunities for increasing sales in retail, so your customers choose your store as a preferred shopping destination.
-
While various factors contribute to success, including value, service, and marketing, merchandising techniques remain a crucial element.
The value of space planning
​The shelf
-
Effective product placement is key to creating a smooth shopping experience. It allows retailers to showcase popular items and seasonal offers, drawing customers' attention where it matters most.
-
Conversely, poor placement can result in missed sales opportunities and dissatisfied shoppers.
-
By optimising product displays, stores can improve operational efficiency and enhance overall customer satisfaction.
​The store
-
Without proper store planning, customer movement can be impacted. When areas become congested, bottlenecks can develop, leading shoppers to steer clear of overcrowded sections. This not only diminishes sales but also detracts from overall customer satisfaction.
-
Store planning supports creating flows that guide customers naturally through the store. These well planned layouts make shopping easy, improves the customer experience, and increases sales.
-
When shoppers navigate effortlessly through a store, they tend to interact more with the products available. This heightened engagement significantly boosts the likelihood of making a purchase.
​Improving the customer shopping experience
-
Planograms are essential for retailers and manufacturers adopting a consumer-centric approach.
-
Software inventory management calculates shelf units to meet customer demand and minimise out of stocks. ​
-
Performance data can be used to reassess space allocation to different categories.
-
Adjusting category space based on shopper demand improves product choice and on-shelf availability.
