             Being the manufacturer who produces the planograms for a customer allows great influence, but also means a big responsibility. Are your display principles really based on consumer insight that will drive sales forward the most?

             The majority of CPG manufacturers have bought a space management package. Whether this is Spaceman, Apollo, InterCept , ProSpace etc…, the majority of times these expensive systems are just being used as glorified drawing tools instead of utilising the full range of functionality that they possess. A well-designed planogram not just contains the right range, laid out in an aesthetic way, but also optimises the category performance. CDC can offer a cost effective and flexible resource that has over 20 years of combined experience in space management.

Key Issues

• We have the software but no-one is trained to use it.

• We only need resource at certain times of the year so don’t need or have the headcount.

• How do I go about minimising out of stocks?

• We think our competitor who produces the plans has produced a biased plan, but can’t prove anything.

• A flexible resource that has over 20 years of combined experience in space management - able to use the latest packages e.g. JDA Space Planning / ProSpace

• Ensure the planograms fulfil the customer's stocking rules and minimises off sales or out of stocks.

• Examine the effect the current or proposed planogram is likely to have on performance.

• Build in space for growing products.
