At UNFI Professional Services, we know how vitally important it is to maximize your floor space. Floor Planning, or Macro Space Planning, can help a grocery store in so many ways — decreasing out-of-stock merchandise, making your store more customer-friendly and increasing profit per linear foot. Put our experienced team to work making your store more efficient and profitable! We’ve mapped more than 250 stores nationwide, helping them efficiently use their store’s footprint to their advantage.
We start by taking the layout of each store and using sales data and analytics to determine how large or small each category should be. We can help you create space for innovative and growing departments and identify areas that aren’t performing well. Allocation Modeling provides easy space allocation based on historical performance (units and sales) specific to your store, or a sister store in the case of new construction.
At UNFI Professional Services, our over-arching goal is to help you make educated decisions about your store’s layout. Here are some of the benefits of our Floor Space Planning services:
- Planograms are assigned to the floor plan for easy retrieval via SVHarbor Web Publisher

- Department Square Footage and Performance reports
- Financial forecasts and budgeting
- Heat map report by category based on sales and item movement (see sample heat map.)
