Assortments cannot stretch a fixed wall.
Check space while the range is still a plan, before committing the money. Capacity guides the first allocation; the layout supplies the unit count. The placement catalogue starts with approved products.
Walls set the boundary for placement.
Shared formats hold the physical structure. Product presentation and quantities sit at bay level.
| Element | Holds | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Bay | Products | Display rules · units per style |
| Format | Walls · zones | Unassigned locations |
Approved products still need physical placement.
A usable presentation needs quantities, display rules and the appropriate format.
Format
Shared formats hold walls and zones. Stores without an assigned format are listed, so you can identify the gap instead of assuming every location has the same physical setting.

Trading context
Sell-through and weeks of cover sit against products on the bay. Examine the commercial context alongside the presentation, rather than judging only whether the fixture looks complete.

Occupied space deserves a commercial reading.
The layout supplies a unit count; capacity guides allocation. Use that quantity when discussing what reaches the floor, alongside the approved assortment.
Shelves still need your merchandising judgement.
You review presentation and quantities. Planogram approval workflows keep that work reviewable; replenishment does not establish where a product should sit.
core plus gives placement commercial context.
Shared formats, approved products, display rules and quantities sit within retail execution. Commercial measures remain alongside the bay.
Questions, answered.
What is visual merchandising software?
Visual merchandising software plans how products are presented in store: which styles sit on which bay, in what quantity, under which display rules. In merchmix it works from the approved assortment and store formats, so the layout and the unit count come from the same plan.
Can I see the store in 3D?
Yes. Layouts and bays can be reviewed in 2D, in 3D and in VR, using the same approved products and unit counts as the plan, so what the visual team signs off is what allocation works from.
How is visual merchandising software different from planning software?
Planning software decides what to buy and how much, through budgets, MFP (WSSI), open-to-buy and range plans. Visual merchandising decides where it goes and how it is shown. merchmix keeps both on one record, so bay capacity guides the first allocation and sell-through and cover sit against every fixture.
Who uses visual merchandising software?
Visual merchandising teams set out formats, bays and display rules. Merchandisers and allocators use the unit counts and capacity to plan what reaches each store, and store and regional teams review the approved presentation.
Where do the products come from?
The approved assortment feeds the placement catalogue. You place products from that range.
Can I configure any floor geometry?
Shared store formats, perimeter walls, zones, and retail bays are configured to model your physical store layouts.
What happens to locations without a format?
Stores without an assigned format are listed. You can identify those gaps while reviewing the estate.
Which commercial measures sit on the bay?
Units per style, sell-through and weeks of cover appear alongside the products.
