PRINCIPAL QUESTIONS: Can the Energy Zone further boost sales? Where would this need to be placed in the market? Which range makes the most sense in combination with chilled energy drinks? Does a secondary placement cannibalize the regular refrigerator?
Assortment planning through READY TO STORE solution
Category management for optimal assortment planning
The joint category management project with Deutsche Tamoil GmbH (HEM service station) was intended to clarify the above questions. This goal could only be achieved together with other partners. POS TUNING took care of the development, the construction as well as the logistics of the Energy Zone. The implementation of pushfeeds and the addition of lighting, toppers and branding were also part of the project. Thanks to neoalto’s sensor technology, every single pushfeed was made digitally measurable in order to measure and analyze the movement of goods (removals and fillings). Bormann & Gordon also provided insights into user behavior at the petrol station through a digital shopper frequency measurement (3D CAM & IR knife).
By combining automation and digitalization, the Energy Zone was able to send live data from different locations. This made it possible to test different planograms, vary the location of the display and also track shopper behavior before and after reaching into the Energy Zone. Thanks to the neoalto technology, sales for each individual product could be tracked and analyzed to the second.
