Dunn Lumber is a family-owned company founded in 1907. It specializes in the supply of lumber and building materials for homeowners and their contractor customer base. The chain, which carries about 18,000 SKUs, includes nine stores and one distribution center.
Before implementing new technology, the company’s merchandising department faced several problems with the manual management of merchandising processes, such as:
- Inconsistent use of shelf space due to the lack of a unified system for developing and integrating planograms.
- Limited flexibility and scalability when working with planograms and layout planning as a result of the need for a large amount of manual labor.
- Difficulty in tracking the implementation of planograms, which carried the risk of inconsistencies and possible sales losses.
- Lack of analytics on the effectiveness of display and use of the sales floor space.
These issues limited Dunn's capabilities and made it difficult to control the display of goods on the shelves. To overcome these challenges, Dunn Lumber decided to implement LEAFIO Shelf Efficiency, a cloud-based merchandising automation solution.
“I am thrilled to be collaborating with LEAFIO AI and their innovative Shelf Efficiency solution. This solution will revolutionize the way we implement and execute planograms and store designs, ensuring a more efficient and dynamic retail environment. We are confident that this partnership with LEAFIO AI will greatly enhance our operational efficiency and provide our customers with an even better shopping experience,” said Tyler Banken, Dunn Lumber's VP of purchasing and technology.
