Number of facings
How many facings each SKU needs to cover demand between deliveries, without wasting space on slow movers.
Every shelf is both a stage and a balance sheet. A good display has to win the shopper and earn its space, and that takes art and science together.

Planogram software helps manufacturers and retailers build science-based displays from shopper and retailer data, and simulate the real situation before it reaches the store.
How many facings each SKU needs to cover demand between deliveries, without wasting space on slow movers.
Put the SKUs that earn the most where shoppers look first, and keep the rest where they still sell.
Sort SKUs into stars, cash cows, question marks and dogs, and give each the space its role deserves.
Compare the agreed display with what is on the shelf today, and see exactly where the blocking differs.
Enterprise space-planning suites are powerful but slow and costly to deploy. Lightweight tools are quick to start but stop at drawing. Smart Planogram delivers the analytical depth of the first with the speed of the second.
Every move is tried on a copy of the plan first. If it would create a collision or push a stack over its limit, you see what and where before anything changes.

We focus on providing technology that helps retail and consumer-goods companies develop their sales in sustainable ways. Smart Planogram is one of our top-selling products.
Smart Planogram, the company’s space-planning platform, brings the analytical depth of enterprise suites to a desktop application that planning teams deploy and run without an IT project.
Design, fixtures, 3D, analysis, valuation, reporting and the catalog all work on the same plan, so a change in one place is reflected everywhere else. Every preview below runs inside the product, on example data.
Plans drawn from photos and sketches rarely match the fixture. Facings that look right on paper do not fit on the shelf, and the gap is discovered by the store team.
Every product is drawn at its true size. Products stop against their neighbours, shelves lock to real notches, and clearance is validated as the plan is built.
Pegboards are where plans most often fail on site. Board size, hole spacing and peg length decide what can hang and how many units each peg holds.
The fixture dialog draws the board in front and side elevation with a corner detail. Each value redraws the drawing, and the dimension being edited is highlighted.
A front elevation hides depth. Blocked facings, empty rows behind the front and over-deep products usually surface on installation day.
The 3D view renders the same plan, so it is always current. Review from the front, the side, above or any angle before a fixture is built.
A planogram can look orderly and still be wrong: the best seller holds two facings while a slow mover fills half a shelf. Without analysis, it surfaces weeks later as empty shelves and markdowns.
Each analysis colours every product by what it is doing, so shortages, surpluses, earners and build errors are visible across the bay before it ships.
Every facing commits space. Too few and the product sells out between deliveries; too many and the space earns nothing. Lost sales stay invisible until the month closes.
Evaluate projects sales, lost sales and gross profit for the target plan against any plan you compare, and recalculates with every facing you move.
Store packs are often assembled from screenshots and retyped figures. Each bay takes hours, and the pack is out of date as soon as the plan changes.
Reports are built from the live plan with reusable templates. Snapshots, charts and tables stay linked to the plan and export in one step.
When products, pictures and fixture parts live in separate folders and spreadsheets, plans drift apart: an outdated price in one, a missing picture in another.
The Catalog holds a single copy of planograms, products, pictures, templates, inventory models and fixture parts, and every plan reads from it.
