Space Planning and Optimization

Many retailers have exhausted the limits of expansion by simply building new stores in existing markets. Retailers must now adopt practices that guarantee precise space utilization in new markets while increasing sales in existing stores.

The challenge to grow same-store sales can no longer be considered an isolated corporate headquarters issue. Retailers need to tap into the details and knowledge spread across the organization in order to maximize store space profitability.

" It's important to get the right sell-through and not be left with so much merchandise at the end of the season. SAS is helping us do that."
