What was your main motivation to start looking for a space planning system?

Our primary motivation was to improve efficiency and optimize product placement in our pharmacies. We wanted a centralized system to streamline planogram implementation and ensure a uniform layout across all locations.

Why have you decided for Quant?

We selected Quant due to its advanced features and ease of use, making it the best fit for our needs.

When did you start using Quant?

We started using Quant in February 2022.

“Implementing Quant in our pharmacies has been a transformative step in our space planning strategy. The software has helped us streamline planogram management, improve efficiency, and ensure consistency across all locations. The implementation was smooth, and the benefits were immediate— better compliance, reduced setup time, and improved relationships with our suppliers. We highly recommend Quant to any retailer looking for an efficient, user-friendly space planning solution.”

Do you remember your expectations from that time?

We expected Quant to provide a centralized method for implementing planograms across our pharmacies and to create a consistent, unitary aspect in all locations.

What were the worst obstacles? How did you succeed in overcoming them?

One of the biggest challenges was the fact that our pharmacy fixtures vary significantly across locations. This made it difficult to apply the same planogram layout everywhere.

We addressed this challenge by adopting a flexible approach to planogram implementation, allowing for necessary adjustments based on the unique layouts of each pharmacy. We ensured that while the overall structure remained consistent, individual adaptations could be made to fit different fixture configurations without compromising the unitary brand image.

How was the implementation of the system and what were the first benefits?

Despite the challenge of different fixture layouts, implementation was relatively smooth.

The first noticeable benefits included:

•    Better compliance with planograms across locations.
•    Reduced setup time, improving efficiency in space planning.

Have you managed to integrate Quant with other systems like ERP and automate the data flow?

No, we have not tried integrating Quant with an ERP or other systems.

How would you rate the quality of the support?

The support team is very helpful and responsive.

What are the main results of the project so far and what are your future plans and targets in the areas of space planning and category management?

So far, the main results have been:

•    Better contractual relationships with producers who pay for planograms in our pharmacies.
•    Improved management of planograms across all locations.

Our next objective is to expand the use of planograms to the cosmetics area, ensuring better organization and visual appeal for these products. Additionally, we aim to maximize efficiency, increase sales, and provide a seamless shopping experience for our customers by continuously optimizing our space planning strategy.

Would you recommend Quant to other retailers?

Yes, we highly recommend Quant. It is an extremely useful tool, with a helpful team and an easy-to-use platform.
