EazyPlano — shelves planned in a second

EazyPlano comes with its own connector for Claude. Add it once in claude.ai — sign in and choose what Claude may do — and it works in Claude on the web, on the desktop and on a phone. Then just ask: “plan an 8 ft dry wall for these stores from their own sales.” Claude finds the fixture and the stores, plans the wall and answers with a picture of the shelf, the totals, the warnings and links to the editor, the preview and the downloads.

Thirty-nine tools let Claude do everything the editor does: add or remove facings, move and swap products, lock what must stay, ask the planogram AI, apply a category manager’s review, give a new product the sales of the one it replaces, fill in a missing size. Every change comes back as a new picture of the shelf and the new totals, and every step is a version that “undo the last one” takes back.

A rep drops a photo of the finished shelf into the chat or the app. EazyPlano reads it against the plan, shelf by shelf: what is in place, missing, extra or on the wrong shelf — with a compliance score, the missing products highlighted where they belong and a to-do of what to fix first. In our test it named exactly the three products that had been taken off the shelf.

Products are ranked by unit sales, how many stores buy them, how steady and fast-growing they are, and margin; rare buys are left off. Facings hold what sells until the next delivery plus safety stock. Best sellers go to eye level, heavy packs low, light boxes high, blocked by category then brand. The sales basis can be one store, a chain, several chains mixed with equal weight, the whole business or none for a new store.

One request plans a planogram for every store of a chain — up to 80 at once, each from that store’s own sales. The store floor editor places gondolas, coolers, freezers, end caps, checkouts and islands on a plan of any size; each gondola carries its planogram, and the whole store opens in 3D to walk around and download as a picture for a presentation.

Photo, block and zone views. Drag a product to any shelf, add from the catalogue, add or remove facings, lock a product so re-planning keeps it, undo and redo. Every change is a version that can be compared and restored, and each planogram has its own team notes.

EazyPlano needs four things: products with sizes, sales by item, store and date, the list of stores and chains, and the fixtures. One adapter turns a client’s data into exactly that — from an ERP, inventory or POS system, a product-data provider matched by UPC, or sales exports — and nothing else in the product changes. At GMI it reads sales, stock and costs from the distributor’s own order system, sizes from a product-data provider and pack pictures from a GS1 product-information service. We install EazyPlano for each client and connect it to their systems.

PowerPoint, PDF and Excel exports in the layout stores already know, barcoded shelf-edge labels in shelf order, and an opening order with every unit rounded to cases. A share link opens on a phone with zoom, 3D and shelves to tick off while setting them — and no sales, costs or margins ever leave the server on it.
