The shop floor, and the back of the shop.
A large store is two buildings in one: the floor the customers see and the storerooms behind it. Things move between them all day, and most of them have wheels.
- Trolleys, cages and roll containers
- Fridges and freezers by temperature
- Front of house and back of house
- Tills and counters on the plan
What a store follows.
Roll containers and cages
Where each one is between the receiving bay and the aisle it is meant for.
Cleaning and maintenance equipment
Floor machines and ladders that are shared between departments.
Cold storage
A sensor tag in a fridge or freezer reports its temperature, and a rule raises an alert when it leaves the range set for it.
Staff with a tag
Which department someone is in, when they are needed somewhere else.
A plan that looks like the store.
The floor editor does more than trace walls. Tills, counters, fridges, freezers and produce stands can be placed where they are, so the plan your client opens is recognisably their own shop.
- Walls traced from a picture of the floor
- Doors placed as openings
- Fixtures set down where they stand
- Zones drawn on top
Alerts a store manager wants.
A freezer warming
A temperature out of range, sent by WhatsApp or email before the stock is spoilt.
Stock standing in receiving
A cage that has been in the receiving zone longer than it should.
A crowded area
More tags in a zone than its limit.
A closed area entered
A tag in a zone marked as restricted, such as the cash office.
