Software for central store management
Software for centralized store management: The collaborative business platform improves cooperation - between head office and store as well as between the areas of category management, store planning, purchasing and sales. External service providers such as store planners can be integrated as required. Manufacturers of furnishing systems can even contribute their own catalogs.
Central optimization of store concepts
Software for central store management: The P'X Retail Solution provides retail centers with a business platform that maps all stores in virtual reality. Spatial evaluations of all stores provide precise basic data for determining the total merchandise requirements so that the purchasing department can procure the exact ideal quantities.
Central management
Category management simply changes the product range and product carriers in the 3D environment. Planograms and assembly instructions are automatically generated for each store.
Centrally coordinated changes to the product and experience worlds are implemented effectively and quickly with the P'X Retail Solution.
Local realization
Overall views as well as individual planograms per gondola/shelf running meter are automatically generated as PDF documents. This provides assembly and sales staff with easy-to-understand documents with visual instructions on how to place merchandise on the shelves.
Alternatively, shopfitters, store managers or merchandisers can access the 3D plans in Store Communicator on site using mobile devices. They exchange plans and photos quickly and efficiently with other departments.
Synchronous, digital processes
In this way, planning and procurement processes are improved in sync with store design and product presentation.
Integration with merchandise management
The planning data from the central store management software can be linked to the operational merchandise management data in the ERP. Strategies, store design and operational implementation are continuously refined on the basis of this "real-time data".
The basis: intelligent catalogs
At the heart of the collaboration is the exchange of catalogs, which are constantly being expanded. Suppliers and shopfitting system manufacturers contribute individual parts and component catalogs that reflect the country-, partner- or customer-specific requirements of their own product range.
Individual concept catalogs
Store planners or architects compile the modules of the shopfitting concept from the elements in the various catalogs. Missing product elements or individual designs are specified with parameterizable elements. Special designs from the CAD system can also be imported via drag & drop, provided with article information and placed.
Virtual furnishing planning
Retailers use the shopfitting concept catalog for fixture planning based on a scanned floor plan. If required, assortment, merchandise display and planogram catalogs can be used to lay out the merchandise presentation in detail.
Abstract or detailed product presentation
Collections and product ranges are displayed in concept catalogs either as abstract 3D placeholders for product groups or in detail as individual items. Products, decorative elements and posters can be quickly created with images and photos of packaging and used in planning via drag & drop.
Automatic application to stores
Assortment catalogs are created together with the merchandise displays so that planning units are created from the planogram and merchandise display layout. If category management changes the planograms, the P'X Retail Solution (software for central store management) can automatically transfer the integrated product carrier layout and merchandise arrangement to the stores. There, existing merchandise displays and stock levels are adapted without any manual routine work.
Central where-used lists
The P'X Retail Solution manages all where-used lists for the planned modules across all stores. The placement and position of consoles or hooks of each module type are tracked when the product range is adjusted. The changes can be tracked, individually accepted, rejected or changed for each store.
Software for visual merchandising
Visual merchandising software: P'X Retail Solution (software for central store management) can be used to quickly design different variants of visual merchandising concepts with an optimal design of the display areas.
An intuitively understandable 3D representation improves the communication and coordination processes of all parties involved. This significantly reduces the planning phase and lead times for image adaptations.
Fast, worldwide realization
If a merchandise management system is connected to the articles used, article numbers and article photos do not have to be entered again. This makes ordering easier and reduces errors.
Centrally created visual specifications can be saved as projects and passed on to national companies for specific customization.
These features are used by central store management:
- Visual design of store concepts
- Graphic configuration in 3D in a spatial context
- High comprehensibility and planning accuracy in product range, product carrier and overall layout
- Flexible modular approach with assembly logic
- For creating furnishing modules and product carrier elements
- For the creation of assortment modules and components
- Distributable concept catalogs with enrichment with additional parts and assemblies
- Cascadable modules: from individual furnishing elements to shelves and gondolas
- Integrated modules: from planogram to assortment module with positioned product carriers
- Analytical validation and optimization
- Concurrent evaluations of parts lists, costs, square, running and tray meters, key figures
- Automated updating of changes
- Distribution of product carrier, decoration and product range changes to the individual store plans
- Automatic export of documents
- Catalogs, material orders, planograms, assembly documents, installation plans, 2D CAD floor plans (DWG)

What users say about our software for central store management
Read why retail centers, store planners, category managers, visual merchandizers and store managers use and recommend the P'X Retail Solution.
MIGROS user report
The Migros community uses the P'X Retail Solution from Perspectix AG for planning and 3D visualization of the new construction and renovation of its stores, thereby optimizing store planning. The software is also used for visual merchandising, shelf planning and product range optimization at around 600 sales outlets.
REWE Group case study
With the P'X Retail Solution from Perspectix, the Rewe Group is closing a digitization gap between the CAD planning of stores and the space planning of the product range in its Rewe stores throughout Germany. The efficiency gains for new stores and store conversions alone justify the investment.
Leroy Merlin user report
Leroy Merlin is one of the largest operators of DIY stores in the world. The founder of the ADEO Group wants to standardize and fully digitalize the processes in shopfitting, furnishing planning and product range optimization worldwide. The P'X Retail Solution from Perspectix AG in Zurich was selected for this purpose at the beginning of 2016.
Digitalization means seamless integration
The close integration of the visual merchandising software P'X Retail Solution with CAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM), ERP and Business Intelligence (BI) such as Spaceman and XPace limits the effort and increases the benefits for the company. Thanks to the bidirectional integration with CAD systems such as AutoCAD, any planning can be transferred directly to CAD, where it can be further processed and returned.
