Autoplacement
Autoplacement
Autoplacement allows you to create a planogram automatically. With just one mouse click, products will automatically fill the planogram.
How to use Autoplacement
To use Autoplacement, go to the planogram editing mode and create a list of products.
Autoplacement is divided into three types of product distribution on the planogram, you can use the one that best suits you:
- Normal autoplacement of products — the maximum number of products from the list will be placed on the shelves;
- Autoplacement based on sales — the system calculates the layout recommendation for each product in relation to its historical sales and generates a layout;
- Autoplacement based on planned percentage — you set your own planned layout percentage for brands and categories. And the Smart Automation forms a planogram based on the planned percentages.
Normal Autoplacement
To fill the planogram with the maximum number of products, click the "Lay out" button located at the bottom left of the screen under the product list. The products will be distributed automatically and evenly across the entire planogram.
Additionally, you can configure autoplacement parameters. To access the settings, click the "Autoplacement settings" button, located to the right of the "Lay out" button.
Autoplacement based on sales
To generate an autoplacement based on each product's sales, open "Autoplacement settings" and enable the "Take sales into account" option.
The display percentage for each product is calculated based on the selected period and four coefficients: Turnover coefficient, Sales quantity coefficient, Profit coefficient, and Receipts quantity coefficient. The values of these coefficients determine the weight of each indicator in the calculation.
Set the required period and adjust the coefficients, then click "Apply" to lay out the products based on sales.
Autoplacement based on planned percentage
Autoplacement based on planned percentages allows you to lay out products based on planned percentages entered by you manually.
To set the planned layout percentages for brands and categories, open the "Brand Statistics" panel by clicking the corresponding button on the right-hand panel.
The brand statistics show the brands of products added to the planogram together with indicators:
- Recommended percentage — a recommendation of the brand layout, calculated by the system based on sales;
- Actual percentage — the share of shelf space occupied by a brand / category on the planogram;
- Planned percentage — reflects the planned percentage of brand / category layout you specify.
To specify the planned layout percentage for brands, click on the appropriate percentage in the "Brand Statistics" panel, and specify the required value.
To specify the planned layout percentage for categories and brands within categories, go to the "Category Statistics" panel using the button in the upper left corner. After changing the grouping, specify the required planned percentage and click "Apply".
After setting the required planned percentages, click the "Lay out" to make the autoplacement work.
The principle of autoplacement with the planned percentage:
- Brands for which the planned layout percentage is indicated are laid out first. In this case, preference is given to brands with the highest specified layout percentage.
- If, after laying out according to the planned percentages, there is remaining shelf space, it is filled with brands that have not yet been placed. These brands are placed according to their recommended percentages, with preference given to those with higher recommended percentages.
- When the total planned percentage is greater than 100%, the brands with the highest planned percentage will be laid out first, and those brands for which there is not enough space will not be laid out at all.
- Within each brand, products are laid out depending on the parameter "Take sales into account", which is in the autoplacement settings. If this parameter is inactive, the products will be distributed evenly within the brand group, if the parameter is active — the products will be laid out relative to the calculated recommended percentage based on historical sales.
How to configure Autoplacement parameters
To access the autoplacement settings, click the "Autoplacement Settings" button. In these settings, you can:
- Set product grouping and sorting;
- Check distance between shelves;
- Include master positions in layout;
- Set the maximum faces qty;
- Choose the type of autoplacement.
Products can be grouped by Categories, Brands, or Suppliers, with the grouping on the planogram arranged vertically.
It is also possible to set sorting for products on the shelves. Products are sorted on each shelf from left to right. You can sort products by size or price, in ascending or descending order.
In the sorting dropdown, there is a "Gold Shelf" option — products with the highest turnover will be placed on the shelf at eye- and hand-level for the customer, at a height of 0.8 m to 1.75 m.
If you use the toggle switch button "Check distance between shelves", products that do not fit on the shelf in height will not be laid out.
If you use the toggle switch button "Include master positions in layout", products grouped into a single position by category, brand, or desired characteristic will be placed as a single item.
You can learn more about the "Master Position" in the article.
With the "Maximum faces qty" dropdown, you can set a limit on the number of faces for each product.
After you have configured all the autoplacement settings, click the "Apply" button.
