Space Planning

The Merchandising Execution department works with category management teams to maximize the growth potential for each section through planogramming the optimized assortment for each division support center. The team develops planograms for each category by division support center using data-driven decisions and insights on how consumers shop. Retailers have access to AWG’s extensive core planogram database, which contains a wide variety of sizes to fit practically every retailer.

 

AWG provides retailers with a variety of reports to help with key decision-making at shelf and planning for resets:

  • Members Speed to Shelf Report
  • New Item Report
  • Discontinued Item Report
  • Item Conversion Report
  • Shelf Ready Case Packaging Report

The Merchandising Execution team also executes Category Initiatives, Reviews, and Refreshes on an annual basis. These activities occur in collaboration with vendor partners to help member retailers win at shelf and realize long-term cost of goods improvement.
