What is shelf analytics?
Shelf analytics is the practice of using data to understand and improve how products are placed on your store shelves — and the sales performance that placement drives. Planogram decisions that used to rely on experience and gut feel can now be made scientifically, based on real sales data.
With ReceiptRoller, you register your planogram digitally and automatically track the sales of the products placed at each shelf position. Are the eye-level (golden zone) products really selling? Which items should move to a lower shelf? With automatic recognition via AI camera or manual entry from the admin screen, you can see the state of your shelves in real time.
What's more, by combining ReceiptRoller's signature electronic-receipt purchase data with shelf-position data, you can analyze exactly which products sold, when, and how much — by shelf position. This is more than a shelf-management tool: it's a platform that helps maximize the profitability of your entire sales floor.

Key Features
From registering planograms to sales analysis, optimization suggestions, and stocktaking — everything you need for shelf management.
Planogram Management
Register and manage which product goes where, on which shelf and position, as a digital planogram. Set details down to shelf number, tier, and facings, and edit your planogram intuitively with drag and drop. Change history is saved automatically, so comparing against past planograms is easy.
Sales Analysis by Shelf Position
Visualize sales performance for each shelf position — top, middle (golden zone), and bottom. Drill down by period and category to see which positions generate the most revenue. Automatic linking with receipt data delivers analysis grounded in accurate sales figures.
Product-Placement Optimization Suggestions
AI analyzes sales data, profit margins, and customer purchase patterns together to automatically suggest the best product placement. It presents concrete recommendations such as "moving this product to the golden zone is estimated to lift sales by ○%." Whether to adopt each suggestion is up to the store.
Faster Stocktaking
Stocktaking based on your digital planogram map speeds up inventory counts dramatically. Because the expected products and quantities are shown for each shelf, you can spot discrepancies on the spot. Integration with barcode scanning reflects stocktaking results in the system instantly — improving accuracy while cutting working time.
Six benefits of shelf analytics and management
Data-driven shelf management draws out the hidden potential of your sales floor.
Maximize Sales
Optimizing product placement based on sales data maximizes sales per meter of shelf. By placing high-margin products in the golden zone and using adjacencies that encourage related purchases, you generate more revenue from the same shelf space.
Reduce Dead Space
Cross-reference sales data with shelf-position data to reveal shelf space that isn't selling. Identify underperforming products and swap them for stronger sellers to turn dead space into revenue-generating shelves.
Stronger Vendor Negotiations
Use sales-performance data by shelf position in negotiations with manufacturers and suppliers. By presenting "the sales results when placed in this golden zone," you can approach planogram negotiations and rebate terms with objective data.
Shorter Stocktaking Time
With a digital planogram map, stocktaking staff can work while checking the expected products and quantities for each shelf on screen. There's no need to carry paper lists around, and any discrepancies can be flagged on the spot. This dramatically shortens stocktaking time while improving accuracy.
Receipt-Data Integration
Automatically link real purchase data from ReceiptRoller's electronic receipts with shelf-position data. Analyze the relationship between customer-level purchase patterns and shelf positions — something POS data alone can't reveal. You can even see "which other products are bought together with the product at this shelf position."
Multi-Store Planogram Management
Manage and distribute planograms for all your stores centrally from headquarters. Monitor each store's planogram compliance and roll out planogram change instructions to every store in real time. Store-to-store performance comparisons make it easy to replicate winning patterns.

Use cases by industry
Make the most of limited shelf space. Used across every kind of retail format.
Convenience Stores & Supermarkets
Maximize sales by category within limited shelf space. When introducing new products, decide which items to swap out based on data. Get recommendations for the best timing to rotate seasonal products, drawn from past sales trends. Adjusting facings for staple products reduces stockout rates and improves turnover at the same time.
Drugstores
Strategically place high-margin cosmetics and skincare products in the golden zone. Plan and manage seasonal product rotations (sunscreen, moisturizers, and more). Verify with data the ideal balance of shelf allocation between private-brand and national-brand products to improve profitability across the category.
Specialty & Select Shops
With a carefully curated product lineup, the placement of each single item directly drives sales. By putting proven best-sellers at the center of the display and in prominent spots along customer traffic lines, you raise visitor conversion rates. Optimize your merchandising with sales data while preserving your brand's world.
