Planogram Software Guide
Planogram software is a specialized set of tools used by retail establishments and manufacturers to guide the creation of in-store displays. It’s used to optimize space, determine the most effective product placement, and analyze traffic flow. Planogram software helps create planograms (diagrams displaying how products should be placed within retail spaces). Planograms can include images, labels, measurements, and other important information related to product placement.
Planograms are based on many factors such as customer preference, buying trends, store policies and promotions. Creating planograms requires data analysis that would be too complex for manual planning alone. That’s where planogram software comes in handy – it automates the process, making it much easier for retailers or manufacturers to design efficient and visually appealing displays that drive sales and maximize profits.
Planogram software typically consists of three main components: a database with detailed product information; an editor for designing layouts; and a renderer for creating visuals from those layouts. The database contains granular details like product dimensions, pricing information or images stored in cloud-based systems accessible from anywhere by authorized personnel. The editor allows users to create realistic simulations of store setups using this data. Finally, the renderer produces 3D renders of the layout so users can evaluate their ideas before they become reality.
In addition to these core features, more advanced solutions may offer additional functionality such as analytics tools which help measure performance over time by allowing users to track product placements with metrics like sales revenue or foot traffic. Some plans also allow multiple stakeholders within an organization to collaborate on projects simultaneously through collaboration programs like Slack or Zoom meetings. With powerful features like these available at their fingertips, companies can make smarter decisions quickly and accurately when designing their in-store displays — ultimately leading to increased profitability and customer satisfaction rates.
Planogram Software Features
- Visualization: Planogram software provides a visualization of shelf layouts, allowing users to easily make changes and interact with the data. This helps businesses understand how their products will be displayed in stores or on shelves, giving them an idea of how customers will shop.
- Drag-and-Drop Interface: The drag-and-drop interface makes creating planograms easy for users by allowing them to quickly drag and drop items into their desired locations on the planogram.
- Product Database: Planogram software includes a product database that allows users to add new items into their planograms without having to manually input information about each item. This saves time and energy for users, as well as ensuring accuracy in the information stored within the planogram.
- Rules Engine: A rules engine monitors user actions to ensure compliance with store standards such as minimum/maximum stock levels, display position requirements, and other business rules. It can also alert users if they are making incorrect choices while creating their planograms, saving time and preventing potential customer service issues resulting from incorrect displays.
- Reporting Capabilities: Planogram software has built-in reporting capabilities that allow users to track their performance over time and analyze key metrics such as sales volume or revenue per shelf layout. This helps businesses understand what works best for boosting sales or increasing brand awareness and can help them optimize their planograms accordingly.
- Automated Planogram Creation: Some planogram software packages offer automated planogram creation, making it easy for users to quickly generate a shelf layout based on the latest market data. This can help businesses stay ahead of the competition by ensuring their product displays are always up-to-date.

This type of software can help retailers test the impact of store layout and product placement changes on sales, foot traffic, and other metrics. It also provides a detailed view into how different shoppers interact with products in a retail space.
