Stores

Creating a Store

The manual briefly describes how you can create a new store.

Uploading a Technical Plan

Uploading a technical plan facilitates later drawing of the floor plan.

Inserting a Component into a Floor Plan

It is possible to insert various types of components into the Store Editor, such as fixtures, cash desks, walls or texts. This manual describes how to insert individual components into the store floor plan.

Floor Plan Layout Changes

Components may be moved, copied or rotated in the floor plan. This manual provides an overview of the actions used to manipulate components in the Store Editor.

Selection Tool

In the Store Editor, you often need to select one or more objects in floor plan. This manual shows the tool that allows you to select objects, and describes the different selection options.

Category Variants

Category variants help to distinguish the fixture with the same category within one store and create a different planogram for each of them. At the same time, it may happen that you have equipment in another store whose planograms should be the same as those in the first store. Then you will set the same category variant for this equipment such as the ones within the first store and it is not necessary to re-create the planograms.

Category Variants Use Cases

You can specify which shelves will share the same planogram template using category variants. Which category variant labels you choose depends on your corporate strategy. There are 4 basic options described in this manual.

Ordered Selection in Store Editor

The Ordered Selection tool in the Store Editor helps you make bulk edits for fixtures. Using a simply drawn arrow above the fixture, you can set certain attributes for the fixture below the arrow.

Linking Planograms with Store Floor Plans

You can link the created planogram with the fixtures in the store floor plan.

Manual Planogram Linking

The created master planograms must be linked to the fixtures in the floor plan, which will determine the exact position where you want to display the planograms. The master planogram is then adjusted according to the dimensions and number of linked fixtures and also according to the sales data of the specific store. In this manual, we will show you how to link a planogram to a fixture and other linking settings.

Category Sequence

In the Store Editor, you will find a tool that allows you to automatically assign selected categories to your chosen fixtures. Categories are assigned based on sales data to achieve maximum sales potential.

Section

In some situations, it is useful to work with multiple fixture segments at once. If you set up a section in Quant, you can then view it in the Project Editor preview of several fixtures at once and create planograms for them.

Floor Plan Highlight

Using floorplan highlights, you can display various information on the fixtures in the floorplan of the store, such as categories, space or sales share of categories, fixture or shelf properties, and more. At the same time, you can set different floorplan highlights for different user groups.

Calculation of Area and Circumference of Objects

In the Store Editor, you can calculate the area or circumference of drawn objects (e.g. rectangles). This feature can be useful when you need to determine the size of a certain part of a floor plan.

Keyboard Shorcuts in the Store Editor

In this manual an overview of shortcuts used in the Store Editor is provided. Using these short- cuts considerably expedites work in Quant.

Creating Custom Store Properties

We have many pre-defined store properties in Quant that may not be sufficient for your needs. If you don't find all required properties in the Store tab, you can easily create your own properties.

Store Groups

In Quant, stores are classified into logical groups for easier orientation and work with them. For example, you can create a group of all stores that are located in one region. Then you can assign the group to the manager who should manage the stores in the region.

Store Layout Import from DWG

If you have your store drawn in CAD using block libraries, you can import the store fixtures corresponding to the blocks in your library into Quant and save yourself the time of re-drawing individual components in Quant.
