How SAS® Is Different

Only SAS provides this unique combination of:

  • A Web-based planogramming client. Extend the reach of space planning beyond the planogrammer to include participation by stores, merchants and suppliers.
  • Spatial collaboration. Allow task-driven flow of planogram development by cross-functional teams while providing an audit trail, security and visibility.
  • Spatial hierarchy. Retailers already know how well their confectionary and dairy performed last period, but only spatial hierarchies can inform them how well the front-end, promotion zone and impulse traffic areas of the store performed.
  • Spatial productivity without a planogram. Assign a level of the merchandise hierarchy to specific space to analyze financial productivity for unconventional planogram products such as softline categories and grocery-fresh categories of produce, bakery and deli.

Benefits

    • Determine optimal floor and shelf space allocations so that each store is stocked with an assortment that best meets customer demand.
    • Achieve the best overall return on invested capital by driving top-line sales while maximizing returns on both inventory and shelf space investments.
