PlanoHero is a cloud-based planogram software platform for retail chains, founded in 2017 and developed by Datawiz.io, a retail analytics company. It covers the full merchandising cycle: building store floor plans, designing fixtures, creating planograms, sending them to stores and checking how closely stores follow them. It is part of the Datawiz BES platform.
The company says more than 100 retail chains in 30+ countries use it. Listed industries include grocery, electronics, pet, DIY, beauty, fashion, liquor and toy retailers, and suppliers and manufacturers also use it to build planograms for retail partners. English is the primary language of the platform and support, and Ukrainian, Russian, Polish and Spanish versions of the site are also offered.
The workflow follows a loop the site describes as HQ plans, stores execute, HQ tracks results. Headquarters staff build a store plan, design shelving equipment and create planograms, either by hand, with auto-fill or with layout rules. The platform runs in the browser with no installation, and administrators can set roles that control which solutions each user can access.
Once planograms are ready, they are distributed to stores with deadlines. Store teams can view them in the PlanoHero Layout mobile app, and HQ controls photo reports and reviews execution history. Product data arrives through Excel uploads, the Listex catalog, or the PlanoHero Connector, which links accounting and POS systems, so planograms reflect the data the chain already holds.
Planogram creation includes a builder and editor, auto-fill, mirroring, block planograms, copying, product highlighting, product rotation and restoring earlier versions. Store floor plans can be built from scratch or downloaded from AutoCAD, and the fixture builder handles equipment of any configuration, with templates. Layout rules let teams automate shelf layouts with their own parameters.
On the AI side, AI-powered merchandising helps create layouts, and the Wizora assistant answers questions about store performance, shelf execution and product placement. Assortment tracking flags changes and out-of-stock risks. Analytics compare plans, planograms and earlier planogram versions, and summary reports cover the whole chain. The Size app lets teams set product parameters from a mobile device.
