STORESPACE^®

StoreSpace^® retail floor planning software

Developed by retail planning experts, StoreSpace^® provides a comprehensive suite of tools to help you plan, manage and optimise your stores. From an intuitive AutoCAD floor planning environment to a portal for reporting and two-way communication, StoreSpace^® ensures compliance across your retail estate.

TRUSTED BY LEADING RETAILERS WORLDWIDE

Retail floor planning made easy

Available in more than 20 languages, StoreSpace^® software accelerates the retail floor planning process, enabling your teams to optimise space effortlessly.

By connecting category floor plans with your planograms and sales data, StoreSpace^® creates a single source of truth, ensuring accuracy and consistency across your business.

Working directly within AutoCAD .dwg files, StoreSpace^® leverages accurate data, comprehensive planning reports, heatmaps and performance insights, all supported by the space planning toolsets. This powerful combination builds a clear and detailed picture of your stores and their performance.

Streamline design and remodelling

StoreSpace^® allows your teams to edit your .dwg floor plans directly within the software. Using the intuitive drag-and-drop editor, your teams can create and update floor plans with ease, or integrate our Store Insights tool to drill down into the data for even more comprehensive insights.

If you're remodelling an existing store layout or opening a new outlet, your teams don't have to start from scratch. Using sales data, you can pinpoint which floor plans, adjacencies and planograms perform best. Once identified, the StoreSpace AutoCAD toolset allows your retail planners to create 'model' stores with category adjacencies and linear space targets to use as templates, and replicate the ideal layout so your plans are optimised from the outset.

“The information that we're now able to provide the whole business in terms of space, and how our space strategy can be formulated going forward, is a huge step from where we were prior to StoreSpace^®. I very much see it as a core tool.”

Nicola Hobson · Head of Category Development & Innovation, AF Blakemore & Son

“With all stores mapped in StoreSpace^®, I can run a simple SQL query to generate a product distribution grid. This means we can take prompt action to fill those voids and minimize lost sales. StoreSpace^® means we can accomplish more. Much more.”

Marty Thompson · Director of Space Management, Rouses Markets

“We are now taking a disciplined approach to remodelling our stores, we are prioritising the less profitable stores first and StoreSpace^® is helping make them profitable again.”

KEY FEATURES

StoreSpace^® features

Macro space and category planning

The core feature of StoreSpace^® is our intuitive planning tool. Based on AutoCAD technology, this drag-and-drop tool lets you build a floor plan using your exact store and fixture specifications, speeding up the entire floor planning process. A single StoreSpace block library keeps equipment changes current across the whole business.

Build model stores and clusters

Not all stores are the same. StoreSpace^® lets your teams group stores by format or other key features to aid planning and reporting, and create a model from a high-performing store, adjacency or linear space so you can replicate success elsewhere in your estate.

Measurement and metrics

Our heatmap functionality displays the performance of each layout using a simple traffic light system. Track sales, profit and product movement against your planogram data, and identify whether categories are over- or under-spaced by comparing metrics per linear metre.

A single source of truth

StoreSpace^® integrates macro and micro space planning into one platform. Centralising floor plans and planograms alongside key metrics ensures all stakeholders work from accurate, up-to-date information, so layouts are implemented consistently and correctly.

Access StoreSpace^® on any device

The StoreSpaceOnline portal is designed to be accessible from anywhere, on any device. Head office teams can see plans on desktop computers while in-store teams view floor plans and planograms from mobile devices using a web browser.

Secure and compliant

We are committed to data security, with annual penetration tests and robust encryption built in, and we use Microsoft Azure to ensure you're compliant with local data protection legislation across territories.

Clear communication

Alongside the planning toolset is the StoreSpaceOnline portal. This allows your planners to share and collaborate with stakeholders throughout the business.

When new plans are added or updated, your planners can notify their colleagues with the click of a button. By logging into the portal, your category and department managers can provide feedback, while store managers and shop-floor teams can view clear store plans on handheld devices.

They can even acknowledge the changes, verify that they are complete and submit photographs to confirm compliance, so you have confidence that each store is consistent.
