More Than Just a Strip of Paper

Can a simple strip of paper really reduce labor costs?  It can when it’s a Gladson QuickSet® Image Strip.

In this age of expensive technology and software solutions, many retailers are learning that QuickSet® Image Strips significantly cut costs associated with new store set-ups, remodels and category resets.  Built directly from the electronic planogram file, images on the strips show set crews exactly where products are supposed to go on the shelf.  “Because the tool is so intuitive, our customers find they save as much as 60% of the time it took in the past using planogram outputs alone,” says Greg Gates, Director of Image Merchandising Solutions.

Having the image present on the strip also results in 100% accuracy at the set.  When the employee sees the picture, they are less likely to place the item in the wrong position on the shelf. 

Additional benefits include:

• Aisles open sooner to shoppers
• Aisles less cluttered during the set allowing shoppers access to purchase
• New employees perform like veterans immediately
• Images are language neutral…great tool for English-second-language employees

A similar solution is also available for peg sections called QuickSet® Image Back Tags.

The Source for Space Management Data

Mostly people think of Gladson Interactive as the source for space management data – product images and dimensions.   In the initial days of space management, we were known for our HBC database – the first database we developed.  Our data then was extended to include Food and General Merchandise – both soon becoming the industry’s leading source.

To meet the rapidly growing demands in recent years, our database offerings have been expanding into other classes of trade as well – including Office Supplies, Pet, Organics, Automotive, Fishing Supplies, and Electronics.   

As our services grow, we are ever mindful of the high standards which have made the Gladson name synonymous with excellence.  We are constantly investing in and developing systems to ensure that we deliver the best product possible to our clients.  Redundant quality control makes certain that our output is right each and every time.

So, if you’re getting into a new category or purchasing a new company and need accurate  images and dimensions, give us a call – we may already have what you need – if not, we can custom build it for you.
