Planogram Software That Turns Shelf Data Into Predictive Revenue

We design, build and automate planogram solutions that combine predictive analytics, computer vision, and retail execution data into a single digital planogram system. From first pilot to chain-wide rollout, we help retailers and CPG brands optimize shelf space, raise on-shelf availability, and lift category sales without replacing your existing merchandising stack.

Reduce out-of-stocks, cut planogram cycle time, and make shelf decisions backed by real sales and image data.

  • Predictive shelf optimization using POS, loyalty, and image recognition data
  • Cloud-native planogram app for merchandisers, category managers, and field teams
  • Automated compliance checks via computer vision and mobile audits
  • Integrations with SAP, JDA/Blue Yonder, Relex, Nielsen, and in-house ERPs
  • GDPR-ready architecture, role-based access, and full audit trail

/ Problem

Why Are Your Planograms Always Out of Date Before They Reach the Shelf?

Most retailers still build planograms in disconnected tools, refresh them on a quarterly cycle, and rely on manual store audits. By the time a new layout is deployed, demand has shifted, competitor assortments have changed, and compliance data is weeks old. The result is lost sales, wasted space, and category decisions made on gut feel.

Static design cycles
Planogram design cycles that can't keep up with weekly demand shifts.
Manual compliance gaps
Manual checks leave 20-40% of stores non-compliant at any time.
Fragmented tool stack
A planogram tool stack split across Excel, legacy CAD, and vendor portals.
No link to real data
The retail store planogram is disconnected from POS, loyalty, and stock data.
Limited analytics
Teams can't prove the sales impact of layout changes.
Headcount-bound scaling
Scaling a planogram system across stores and formats needs linear headcount growth.

/ How it Works

How We Deliver Your Planogram Solution

Step 1
Discovery and category scoping

We align on priority categories, formats, KPIs, and data sources with merchandising, operations, and IT. Output: solution blueprint and measurable success criteria. (1-2 weeks)

Step 2
Data and tooling assessment

We audit POS, stock, image, and master data, plus the current planogram tool landscape. Output: integration map, data readiness report, and target architecture. (2 weeks)

Step 3
MVP build for one category or banner

We build the first working planogram software module, covering optimization, app, and compliance loop, for one category in a pilot set of stores. Output: production MVP with baseline analytics. (6-8 weeks)

Step 4
Store rollout and automation

We scale planogram automation across banners, formats, and markets with CI/CD, monitoring, and training. Output: chain-wide planogram system with live compliance scoring. (8-12 weeks)

Step 5
Continuous optimization

We retrain models on new sales and image data, expand to adjacent categories, and tune layouts weekly. Output: measurable lift in sales per linear meter and on-shelf availability. (ongoing)

/ FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a planogram and how does a digital planogram differ from a static one?

A planogram is a visual and data-driven plan of how products are placed on a shelf, bay, or fixture to maximize sales and customer experience. A digital planogram, unlike a static image or PDF, is stored as structured data, so it can be versioned, queried, integrated with POS and stock systems, and automatically compared against shelf photos for compliance.

How does planogram automation actually work in stores?

Planogram automation combines a target digital planogram with computer vision models that read shelf photos taken by field reps or fixed cameras. The system detects facings, gaps, and misplacements, scores compliance against the planned layout, and pushes corrective actions to store teams, replacing manual audits with near real-time feedback.

What data do we need to start a planogram optimization project?

At minimum, you need SKU master data, store-level POS history (12+ months), current planogram files, and basic store attributes. To unlock full planogram optimization, we also recommend stock and out-of-stock data, loyalty transactions, and shelf imagery. We assess data readiness in the first two weeks and design around what is realistically available.

How long before we see ROI from a new planogram system?

Most clients see measurable ROI within one to two quarters after the first category goes live. The MVP typically ships in 6-8 weeks, followed by a pilot in a store cluster. Early wins usually come from reduced out-of-stocks and faster planogram cycle time, with sales uplift stabilizing after one to two replenishment cycles.

Can your planogram software integrate with JDA/Blue Yonder, SAP, or Relex?

Yes. Our planogram development team builds connectors to JDA/Blue Yonder Space Planning, SAP Retail, Relex, Nielsen, and custom ERPs. We can either replace legacy planogram tools or sit on top of them as a predictive and automation layer, depending on your strategy and existing contracts.

Is the solution suitable for small retail chains or only enterprise retailers?

It works for both. For smaller chains, we deploy a lighter planogram app with pre-configured optimization templates and simpler integrations. For enterprise retailers, we build a full planogram system with multi-format support, chain-wide automation, and deep integration into assortment and replenishment platforms.

How do you handle GDPR and data security for loyalty and shelf imagery?

All loyalty data is pseudonymized before entering modeling pipelines, access is controlled via RBAC, and processing is logged end-to-end. Shelf imagery is stored in region-specific cloud environments with encryption at rest and in transit. We align with GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 practices and support EU-only data residency when required.
