[August 2025] — Merchandising just got a major upgrade. PlanoHero has officially introduced Wizora, its first built-in AI merchandising assistant designed to answer your shelf, product, and planogram questions instantly — and with the precision of a retail analyst.

No more digging through dozens of reports or juggling analytics tabs. With Wizora, you simply ask, and the AI delivers clear, data-backed answers from your real store performance in seconds.

 

 

What's Wizora in PlanoHero?

Wizora - an AI-assistant that helps you work with planograms faster and more confidently. The assistant explains how the layout is related to sales, inventory, shelf filling, and compliance with standards, and helps identify inaccuracies or problem areas that need to be reviewed. This saves time on routine analysis and increases the planogram efficiency.

So you can ask Wizora any questions related to your stores, planograms, or product sales.

 You may ask:

"What products had the highest sales volume last month?"

"What products have critically low inventory levels?"

"What products are growing in sales across the chain but declining in individual stores?"

 

 

A Retail Analyst in Your Pocket

Wizora isn’t a generic chatbot — it’s trained specifically on retail and merchandising data. That means it understands:

  • Your planograms
  • Your store layouts and fixtures
  • Your assortment
  • Your sales performance
  • Your product placement rules
     

Ask “Which stores are missing updated planograms?” or “Which brands in Beverages are underperforming this month?” "How many planograms are there on the store plan?"— and you’ll get immediate, actionable insights.
