Varied approach to retail space planning

Retail space planning is a vital process used by retailers to optimise the internal layout of their stores. When managed effectively, it can significantly boost profitability. However, retailers across the World implement the retail space planning process in different ways. Some maximise the process while others have areas which need significant development.

Here at CADS, our expert retail planners use leading space planning software StoreSpace® to get the most from your physical retail space. So, we’ve developed a model to help retailers identify their level of retail space planning sophistication– and determine ways to improve their process.

The retail space planning maturity model

We’ve used our experience of over 40 years and expert knowledge of the retail space planning process to put together a retail space planning maturity model.

With four clearly defined stages, retailers can use the model to assess their existing level of retail space planning experience and identify areas for improvement to create the optimal retail space planning process.

Boosting profitability through optimised planning

With an optimised planning process – which CADS can facilitate – underperforming stores can be quickly identified and improved for boosted profitability across a whole estate.
