AI-driven planogram and space optimization at SKU-store level

We deliver shelf and space recommendations grounded in sales velocity, customer flow analytics, and category performance at store-specific granularity.

/ Problem

Why Traditional Planograms Underperform Modern Retail

One-size-fits-all planograms ignore store-level demand variation, customer flow patterns, and SKU velocity differences. The result: low-performing facings, stockouts on best-sellers, and margin left on the shelf.

Identical Planograms
Same planogram across diverse stores wastes high-value space in flagship locations.
Low-Velocity Facings
Slow movers occupying eye-level shelf positions while best-sellers stock out.
Compliance Gaps
In-store execution drifts from planogram intent without compliance monitoring.
Slow Decision Cycles
Manual planogram updates take quarters; market changes faster than retailers adapt.

/ FAQ

Most Common Questions

What data do you need?

SKU-level sales by store, planogram inventories, store master data, and ideally customer flow analytics from in-store sensors or cameras.

How long to first results?

Pilot category measurable lift in 12 weeks. Full enterprise rollout typically 6–9 months across categories.

Do you replace category managers?

No — we provide AI recommendations; category managers retain decision authority and add strategic context.

How does this integrate with existing planogram tools?

We integrate with JDA, Blue Yonder, Relex, and similar tools — providing AI recommendations as inputs to existing workflows.

What about in-store compliance?

We optionally add computer vision audits to ensure planograms are executed as designed in stores.
