BEST IN CLASSVIRTUAL SHELF
With our Virtual Shelf, we simulate the PoS as realistically as never before.
Explore the potential of your design alternatives, the optimal size and composition of your assortment, the optimal price as well as the optimal price-quantity combination of your portfolio. We simulate real purchase decisions at the PoS for you quickly, easily and cost-effectively. You can remove individual products from the shelf with the mouse and view them directly.
The virtual shelf allows us to create a survey situation for your research questions that comes much closer to the situation at the PoS than previous research approaches. Our virtual shelf is very close to reality.
We test your product in the relevant competitive environment, collect KPIs in comparison to the relevant competition, taking into account the number of facings and the placement in a more realistic shopping process.
Our shelf-based tests are conducted online and are used for typical questions such as:
- Pack design
- Assortment (optimal size and composition)
- Price (optimal price)
- Portfolio (optimal price-quantity combination)
- Shelf layout (via decision tree analysis with out-of-stock scenarios)
