Retail Optimization and Store Planning Website

Space Planning in retail outlets is not a new area, but retailers sometimes don't invest enough time in maximising their display areas using quantifiable techniques, such as Product Profitability and Category Management. Often the range has been inadequately identified and key shopping categories are missing from the display. Sometimes, some products are missing from some stores and are in others. Also, efficient use of shelf space is essential to ensure a better level of stock is sitting on a shelf or on a retail display. The whole idea about stock control is that everything should run out of stock at the same time so that it optimises re stocking manpower and sales. This website provides guidelines and information along with a retail forum for our members to discuss these principles and other retail opportunities.
