Frequently Asked Questions

The planogram compliance checklist that closes the gap between the approved layout and what actually appears on the shelf after every reset

Planograms are set centrally and executed inconsistently in stores. The gap between the approved layout and the physical shelf compounds with every reset that goes unverified. The most common problems:

  • Resets are completed without a structured verification step. Store managers assume the display is correct until a visual merchandiser or area manager visits and finds deviations that have been trading for days or weeks.

  • CPG partners require proof of display execution after promotional resets but most stores have no photo record of the set display. Disputes over whether a promotion ran correctly have no evidence base.

  • Area managers discover non-compliance during scheduled visits and have no way of knowing how long the deviation has been trading. There is no audit trail showing when the display was last verified.

Planogram layout verification, product facing compliance, pricing accuracy and corrective action documentation in one checklist

This planogram compliance checklist is available online and opens on any phone or tablet on the shop floor. It covers product placement against the approved schematic, facing count compliance, pricing and labeling accuracy, promotional display verification and corrective action documentation in a structured sequence that produces a comparable audit record every time it is completed.

  • Verify product placement and facing count against the approved planogram schematic and photograph any deviation before moving on.

  • Check pricing and labeling accuracy across every section and flag any discrepancy with a photo and corrective action before closing the audit.

  • Confirm promotional display compliance against the supplier schematic and document the set display with photos as evidence of execution.

A planogram compliance record that gives area managers real-time cross-location visibility and gives CPG partners photo evidence of display execution

When every location completes the same checklist after every reset, planogram compliance becomes measurable and comparable across the estate. Deviations are caught before trading rather than during the next visit. Corrective actions are assigned before the store opens. And the photo record from each audit gives area managers, brand teams and CPG partners retrievable evidence of display standards at each location on each reset date.

Download this planogram compliance checklist and give your team a structured, photo-evidenced audit routine they can complete from any device on their next store reset.
