You need insights into foot traffic, strong performers, customer preferences, retail trends, etc. Using good data to back up your planogram is essentialД¬reating a planogram without good data is like building a house without a foundation: ItвЂ™s all going to come crashing down.

Planograms are essential for retailers, however, planogram implementation doesnвЂ™t always go the way their creators intended, incorrect sizes, out of date planograms, or even the wrong store layout may have been printed out, but worse still, the wrong planogram may have been implemented. Getting planograms implemented (category resets) can be problematic With all that is going on in the world at present the importance of ensuring you have the right products that consumers want is now more important than ever, we already know the best way to manage the range is through the planogram process, but implementing planogram changes (or category resets) has always been a common problem for many different types of businesses to get right.
