How our solutions fit into your category micro assortment process flow
How our solutions fit into your store optimisation process flow
The first process in store optimisation is to define the target focus
-
Are you focused on evaluating the total trading space (sqms) to find additional category trading space?
-
Are you focused on evalutating the store/s to answer a specific business goal or challenge?
-
Example; Target all stores, focus on total store, fixture type - all
-
Example; Target all stores, focus on department, fixture type - shelving
-
Example; Target all stores, focus on aisle shelving or aisle chiller units.
-
-
Multiple scenarios can be run from the same data/project maximising optimum efficiency from one setup​
Below is the business process flow for a top-down otimisation where the total store space is the starting point.
-
Note; if you have completed the clustering and micro assortment beforehand you may already have optimised category assortments by store cluser and by individual planogram fixture sizes. In this case the last two steps are ommitted
-
Store planning remains an integral part of the process to review all the proposed changes
-
You can feed in the results to obtain a helicopter view of the optimised changes
-
Create a store cluster blueprint of an optimised store and see where quick wins can be implemented across stores. (Note consumer habits shift so ideally store optimisation should be re-run half-yearly or annually
-
Calculate the cost of fixture change, timings for delivery to stores and overall expected ROI of change
-
-
​Upon reaching a decision, plan to organise the delivery of the updated planogram and product assortment for the newly allocated space.
-
​Following this end-to-end process ensures everything arrives timely for in-store execution and compliance
