Argos use StoreSpace® retail space planning software

Understanding and managing space in store

CADS has worked with Argos for many years providing a range of services including surveying, 3D store visualisation and retail space planning services.

As a result, the retailer approached CADS looking for an efficient method for estate-wide reporting on use of space in its 845 stores. This is a common issue for many retailers with large national and international estates.

Linking AutoCAD store plans to an online database and reporting engine

CADS’ retail space planning software StoreSpace®’s integrated retail planning environment with intuitive AutoCAD planning tools and online database provided the perfect solution.

StoreSpace® is a centralised web-based software application links together the AutoCAD store plans to a single database.

Collaboration optimises planning process

Following a basic demonstration of StoreSpace® to Argos, the companies worked together to optimise the retail planning and reporting process. This included identifying what information could easily be added to the store plans to facilitate the store planning, space analysis and reporting process.  This information was subsequently linked to the StoreSpace® online portal.
