Data Sources for Import and Export
Shelf planning is based on information that already exists elsewhere in the company: Data about products, fixtures, markets and shelves. In XPace Space Management, these informations meet to build concrete rack allocation plans. Graphic planograms and assembly lists are the basis for shelf construction in the real world. They are also used for documentation and communication and for the permanent development of the point-of-sale over time.
The data from shelf planning result in communication processes that provide the internal and external addressees of shelf planning with the necessary information. On the one hand, communication can take place in the classical way (sending e-mails of PDF reports or Excel tables), but today, actual planograming data should also be provided online on a server.
