Make retail space planning easier with StoreSpace®
StoreSpace® software makes it easier for retail planners to optimise and plan category space within stores.
StoreSpace® provides a store planning environment developed with the knowledge we’ve gained from over 35 years’ experience in macro space planning.
It connects category space on floor plans with Nielsen planograms and other sales data, enabling you to plan stores more efficiently and effectively.
Working directly within AutoCAD files, StoreSpace® uses accurate data, store planning reports and performance insights – along with intelligent block libraries and toolsets.
StoreSpace® creates the perfect planning environment to help boost sales.

Ideal for designing new retail environments or remodelling existing stores
With StoreSpace® you can:
- Plan both micro and macro space directly from your .dwg floor plans using integration with Nielsen’s planograms and other software.
- Simplify and speed up store planning using the intelligent AutoCAD block library and intuitive space planning toolset.
- Optimise category space using sales data and create ‘model stores’ to replicate your best-performing outlets.
- Easily create, view and share critical store planning reports with others via the secure web-based portal.
- Comply with data localisation legislation with international hosting options using Microsoft Azure.
Optimise retail space with your own sales data and model stores
With StoreSpace®, you can optimise category space using sales data and create ‘model stores’ to replicate your best-performing outlets.
By integrating your planogram software with StoreSpace® you can overlay sales, movement and profit heatmaps onto your floor plans – making it easier to identify where your space allocation is successful or categories are underperforming.
Used with StoreSpace ‘model stores’ functionality, you can plan your macro space using past performance data to create the ideal category space allocation for each specific store type.
In addition, our Format Development Manager is here to help you create store models including defining planning principles and targets for category space allocation.

As a Nielsen IQ COnnected Partner, we have closely integrated our StoreSpace® software with Nielsen’s planogram software.

StoreSpace® makes the connection, validating sizes as well as identifying any fixtures without planograms.
