JDA Space Planning

Where a product sits on a shelf, and how many facings it gets, is decided long before a customer walks in. JDA Space Planning is planogram production and category management software for retailers, from the JDA portfolio that Blue Yonder now offers.

Planograms and categories

A planogram is the layout that shows where each product goes on a shelf or fixture. The software produces these layouts and supports category management, the decisions about what to range within each category of goods. Its pages describe it for retailers and do not list further modules.

Alongside retail planning

Blue Yonder's site groups retail planning and category management together, with work on clustering, ranging, pricing and promotions. It describes its planning as aligning assortment, allocation and pricing with AI and machine-learning forecasts. A space planning product belongs to that setting: shelf layouts follow the range and the forecasts rather than standing alone.
