Planogram compliance without the barriers

Composing a plan to address all the variables of planogram compliance and communicating that plan is challenging. If you’re lucky, you might have good discipline with spreadsheets and email. If you’re like a typical retail chain, you might get a fax to the store the day before the project is due to be completed (ok, maybe a network printer, maybe).

MerchLogix Project helps ensure that all your store-level changes, with all their variability, are  completed on-time and according to the plan. It also identifies stores, planograms or fixtures  that are either late, not set correctly or have some variation that is not typically permitted by your merchandising standards.

MerchLogix Project helps retailers manage: 

• Store communication
• Issue triage/resolution
• Visibility into planogram compliance/completion
• Awareness of fixture orders/receipt
• Photo validation
• Digital sign-off of planogram completion

First, MerchLogix does not license by the seat; users are free. Our largest customer maintains more than 130,000 active users in their software. Your store associates, corporate associates, vendors and suppliers are invited to access and use the system as part of your subscription. Also, MerchLogix is a cloud and mobile-first planogram compliance solution. With our software-as-a-service approach, you do not need to make capital investments in IT, and you can access MerchLogix on any device, anywhere, anytime.

Anyone who works at a retailer and is involved with or interested in merchandising can use MerchLogix Project. Our primary users usually fall within the “Merchandising Operations” roles. Other users may include professionals in visual merchandising, in-store execution, space planning or store operations. MerchLogix is a holistic solution for efficiently managing your stores, your shelves and their changes to ensure planogram compliance.

MerchLogix Project is accessible via any device with a web browser. Typically, users access the product on a tablet, laptop or phone. As you would expect, MerchLogix will also integrate with your corporate single sign-on, and your organization’s role hierarchy.

Like all the modules in MerchLogix, you pay for what you use. The cost of MerchLogix Project is based on the number of store projects you plan to execute in a calendar year. For example, suppose a retailer has 4,500 stores and 16 categories, and they perform a basic refresh of each category twice per year, per store. In that case, they have 4,500 (stores) x 16 (categories) x 2 (refreshes per category) for a total of 144,000 store-projects in that year. The license price will reflect that level of usage. If you can get your project done with 50 people, you’re a retail Jedi. If you need 5,000 people, we won’t charge you one penny extra. Plus, hosting and support are included in the license cost.

MerchLogix is modern, role- and permission-based software. Each role in the system (e.g., Merchant, Field Manager, Store Associate, etc.) has a unique view of the same set of data. For example, when a Field Manager accesses the system, they are natively presented with their list of stores only. The system knows the association between the user and the stores. Similarly, when a Merchant accesses the system, we natively present their list of categories and only that list of categories (unless they clear their filters!). 

Each role in the system has its own role-specific dashboard, which collects and condenses their most-needed, day-to-day features in one place for the easiest and fastest completion of work. The Merchant dashboard presents features for managing categories, and the Store Associate dashboard presents upcoming and overdue work in the store. The Space Planning dashboard provides insights into projects and stores with floorplans and planograms in flight.

In short, there are many dashboards in MerchLogix, each customized around the roles and responsibilities found within a retailer.
