Retail Site Survey and Auditing

Detailed measurement of the length, width and height of your retail installation site down to the last millimetre. What about the floor? Are there steps or raised platforms to consider? Do the colour and flooring material fit in with your design? Are there service shafts or other technical installations nearby? Pillars or heating and ventilation ducts can have a significant impact on the fitting and final effect of a point of sale.

We do more than measure the surroundings of your future point of sale with a yard stick. We also consider which brands are located nearby and how to optimise customer pathways and sight lines to your own point of sale. Use this information to stand out from the crowd and attract the most customers wherever you are in the shop. We put you in the spotlight.

Physical barriers and other delivery restrictions can cause significant delays to the rollout of your shop in shop installation. That is why we thoroughly investigate opening hours, delivery conditions and possible time slots as well as accessibility. Is there a goods lift? Is it big enough for your larger items or will individual components have to be assembled on site? We will find it all out in advance.

We liaise with a representative from the overall retail site to coordinate the project rollout. Having a specific contact on site makes communication and all aspects of the work much easier, helping to iron out any problems and generally speeding up the process. Constant repetition is avoided, and smooth workflow makes sure that all parties involved are happy with the final outcome.

We convert the measurements taken on site into computer-aided drawings. These will be made available to you in DWG-format for further planning purposes. Set up your retail installation to make the best use of the space available. Do your standard elements fit? Or is it necessary to adapt and modify your furniture and fittings to suit the surroundings? Find out before you start.

WRS offers state of the art laser scanning services which capture the shop surroundings millimetre by millimetre. The data obtained forms the basis for a virtual reality simulation of the finished shop in shop installation. This means you can take a virtual walk around your final point of sale before the work has actually started to make sure everything is as it should be – avoiding unnecessary duplication of work and wasted journeys.

We can show your future shop in shop as a three-dimensional representation which includes the shop fittings and furniture. Based on the data from the site survey in combination with the 3D data from displays and different furniture elements, we can provide you with an interactive planning tool. The different elements can be moved around until you see that everything is just where you want it.

We can take your plans and drawings a step further and create near-life virtual reality scenarios which you can visit and experience just like you would your future POS. This goes beyond a mere first impression of your shop and enables you to explore it in depth right at the beginning from the point of view of your future customers. Shape the customer experience from the inside.
