Note: The McLane Space Management Team provides a “core” set of planograms for each regional grouping. The transition from the core planograms to live-image versions will improve the clarity and visualization of your retail layouts to enhance your sales opportunities. Customer-specific planograms are available through a replicating program that ties the live images to a customer’s standard planogram layout. Subsequent updates to the customer’s specific planogram are then available for a fee.
