Passion

Your goals are our passion

Strategix is your partner for assortments, planograms, and store planning. We leverage our experience from over 200 major projects in 15 countries and 25 years in the retail industry. We are here for you and thus we stand for it with our name.

  1. We analyze your requirements, existing Category Management experience, the complexity of your processes, technical prerequisites, your specific IT landscape, and your budget. Only after this comprehensive analysis do we provide a recommendation based on all the data.

    Which Category Management solution is the best? It is customer-specific.

  2. With the BY Planogram Generator, you can automatically generate hundreds of planograms within seconds based on rules and metrics, considering local and regional assortments.

    Offering local and regional assortments optimally, tailored to each market—how is that possible? No problem with the BY Planogram Generator.

  3. With BY Floor Planning, you can perform store-specific optimization of your macro spaces by defining the optimal allocation of assortments and their sizes, considering departments, proper pathways, and much more.

    How do I achieve optimal allocation of assortments in the market space? Through BY Floor Planning.

  4. With Strategix's mobile solution "planogram-to-go," you can communicate shelf redesigns to the stores without paper. Through digital access and user-friendly operation, store personnel can improve the implementation of planograms. This smart solution enhances your planogram implementation quality and promotes the sustainability of your company at the same time.

    Your planogram compliance still has room for improvement; what else is possible? Best to use the mobile solution "planogram-to-go" from Strategix.

  5. With the micro-service-based interface "rConnector," you can configure source and target systems flexibly via an intuitive user interface. This allows you to determine which data you need and where. With this consistent integration approach in your IT landscape, you improve data quality and accuracy.

    Determine yourself which data you need where. Everything is straightforward with the Strategix interface "rConnector."

  6. With the Strategix plug-in "CAD Connector," you can finally import your AutoCAD plans and/or changes from CAD plans and write them back. The novelties in the plan are synchronized, and the adjustments are highlighted directly in the software application. This achieves significant time savings, improves accuracy, and reduces errors resulting from the manual work of the user.

    How can I speed up the process of importing AutoCAD plans into BY Floor Planning? Simply use the Strategix plug-in "CAD Connector."

INCREASED PlANOGRAM COMPLIANCE

The implementation of planograms often suffers from a process characterized by poorly legible paper prints, insufficient market-specific remodeling instructions, and a lack of effective feedback options for in-store personnel. With the digitization of the entire planogram implementation process, this issue is resolved.

MACRO SPACE OPTIMIZATION

Whether you aim to open new locations, enter new countries, or explore new distribution channels, you need the technical infrastructure to rapidly plan new stores and define the appropriate assortments.

Please get in touch now

Automated generation of store-specific assortments

Your customers are increasingly seeking individuality, regional relevance, and local products in the assortments. Without an intelligent tool to assist you in meeting the demands for increased planogram output and granularity, achieving this with the same team size is often impossible.

Please get in touch now

Optimized assortment mix

To achieve the optimal product mix while considering the available space, you need to analyze and evaluate a variety of data and KPIs. In doing so, the shelf space is often disregarded, leading to the assortment no longer fitting the space. We can help you ensure that both fit together optimally.

Please get in touch now
