Spaceman® Maintenance Utility
Product database maintenance and updates
An up-to-date product database is the foundation of successful merchandising plans. The product master is the starting point to any planogram implementation. Having the correct item characteristic is key for building real world planograms.
Utilize relational database power
With your planograms stored in a relational database environment through Spaceman Connectivity, you have the basis for increased efficiency of maintenance of your product data and planograms.
Spaceman Maintenance Utility provides you with powerful capabilities to keep the product data in the database up-to-date.
Adding, changing and de-listing products
Using the same product add/change dialog (that can be found in the applications in the Spaceman Suite), Spaceman Maintenance Utility provides you with a familiar interface to maintain your product information.
As the generic product data is stored only once, a single change updates
all planograms that list that product. Whether you change the name, dimensions or even the product ID, changes are applied automatically to all planograms concerned. If a product is no longer listed in any planogram, it can be de-listed quickly.
Listing, de-listing and swapping products
Based on the up-to-date product list, Spaceman Maintenance Utility allows you to list one or more products in as many planograms as you wish. You can add new products to the product list or place on a temporary shelf. Accomplish all this in a fraction of the time that it would take you to do this manually.
De-listing products from a series of planograms has literally become a process of seconds. After you have selected the product(s) to be de-listed, Spaceman Maintenance Utility displays a list of the planograms that carry them. Select the planograms that need updating and Spaceman Maintenance Utility will apply all the needed changes.
