Read case studyEasily manage your planograms directly within your floor plans
As a Nielsen Connected Partner we have closely integrated StoreSpace® with Nielsen’s planogram software, connecting micro and macro space management data and processes.
Simply ‘drag and drop’ your planograms onto the fixtures on your AutoCAD .dwg floor plans. StoreSpace® makes the connection with the planogram software, validating sizes as well as identifying any fixtures without planograms.
No need for AutoCAD licences
If you don’t have AutoCAD licences, our StoreSpace® Planner licence gives you all the functionality of our StoreSpace® toolset without the need for a separate AutoCAD licence.
