Create retail store floor plans, place fixtures, and optimize shelf space with PlanoHero planogram software. Import an existing layout from AutoCAD or build from scratch, link floor plans directly to planogram execution, analyze customer traffic with heat maps, and compare sales performance across store formats. Turn every layout decision into a measurable result.
Store plan builder
Planogram library
Customer traffic analysis
Draw the store's sales areas and customize the parameters. Place on the plan the retail fixtures: shelves, display cases, cash registers, and terminals
Use AutoCAD's store plan to work with the plan more quickly. Alternatively, upload a sketch to simplify the process of drawing walls
Use ready-made planograms from other store plans. Standardize the layout across store formats and reduce planogramming time
Analyze customer traffic in the sales area. Identify the locations with the highest and lowest sales (the "hot" and "cold" zones of the store), as well as customer movement on the sales floor. Anticipate space issues, including format-specific features or sales floor obstacles
Analyze the sales performance of various stores in the chain. Compare sales data for one store over different time periods or for different store plans
The software's simplicity and accessibility make managing a wide range of stores easier. We especially appreciate the ability to control the layout of goods and maintain communication between different stores. The function of drawing plans allows us to accurately calculate the required amount of equipment and goods to open a new store successfully.
