Retail Innovation

Virtual Store Software & Execution Simulation

We leverage immersive 3D virtual store platforms to simulate planograms, store layouts, and in-store activations. This helps you to make smarter decisions while reducing risk and saving time.

 

Our virtual store solutions include:

  • Full-store digital mockups for layout and flow testing.

  • Interactive planogram trials to evaluate product positioning.

  • Visualisation of signage, promotions, and packaging in context.

  • Shopper pathing, heatmaps, and dwell-time analytics to understand behaviour and impact.

 

By combining advanced simulation with actionable insights, our Virtual Store services allow retailers and suppliers to optimise execution, validate strategies, and improve shopper experiences before implementation in the real world.
