Henderson Group's retail space planning transformed using StoreSpace® software
Retail space planning expert StoreSpace® Insights has helped Northern Ireland’s largest Spar retailer and wholesaler, Henderson Group, improve their space management process with StoreSpace® intuitive AutoCAD-based software.
Henderson Group reached out to StoreSpace® following a recommendation from Nielsen, which provides Spaceman planogram technology that partners with StoreSpace®. They sought StoreSpace®’ expertise in streamlining and enhancing their store layout process.
Within 13 weeks, StoreSpace® software was providing Henderson Group with category space changes, based on robust analysis, which could be tested and demonstrated.

Richard Burford, Head of Client Services.
StoreSpace® is implemented in 101 of Henderson Group’s 105 stores. It provides the retailer and wholesaler with the platform and data they need to plan and analyse their retail space. They can also identify areas for improvement, such as categories with too much or too little space.
Since its implementation, StoreSpace® has helped Henderson Group efficiently make changes to store layouts, as well as access performance insights which enable them to better understand which actions have improved sales and profitability.
“StoreSpace® is a great tool for Henderson Group and for convenience retail chains. Its value is in quicker, faster and better decision making. It is influencing what is happening in store – and we can see which categories we need to flex to optimise sales.”
Terence O’Hagan, Retail Category Development Manager at Henderson Group.
