The dashboard is the starting point to accessing the data in various different levels of summary and detail views. It is divided into 4 key sections which will be described one by one.
Section 1
The top part of the screen (1 in Figure above) gives details of the space modeller run including the start and end date, number of weeks sales, number of stores and total amount of space being optimised
Section 2
The upper scatter graph (2 in Figure above) shows a graphical representation of all the stores plotting the ranking of sales potential increase against the amount of space that needs to be changed
- Higher up on the graph indicates higher sales benefit (2.1 in Figure immediately above)
- More to the right means more space change to be made (2.2 in Figure immediately above)
In summary the stores to the left and top of the graph show the sweet spot of biggest sales benefit but with lowest amount of space change required
- Hovering over any store on the screen (2.3 in Figure immediately above) reveals the exact sales increase ranking as well as the space change effort
Section 3
The middle section of the screen (3 in Figure above) shows a high level summary by store group of how space is changing. This retailer has chosen to group their stores according to store format, each group corresponding to a range of store sizes.
- The central row of graphs (3.1 in Figure immediately above) how how much of the total space is changing in each of the store groups- a measure of the effort needed to change the space
- The lower graphs (3.2 in Figure immediately above) illustrate the actual number of categories where changes are occurring, so a measure of the level of disruption to the operation of the stores and their customers
- The lowest part of the screen (3.2 in Figure immediately above) shows the high level summary of how space is changing across the highest level of the product hierarchy illustrating the current and optimum space distribution
Section 4
The lowest part of the screen shows the high level summary of how space is changing across the highest level of the product hierarchy illustrating the current (4.1 in Figure below) and optimum space (4.2 in Figure below)distribution.
