Retail Space Planner

1 month ago

Midrand, South Africa DotActiv Full time

Retail space planners play a pivotal role in the success of any business that has its roots in the retail industry. In the case of DotActiv, they help us to transform the in-store experiences of our customers and drive sales and profit. This is why we are looking to expand our team. With a starting** Cost to Company of between R9 000 and R12 000 per month**, we’re searching for people who value strategic planning and problem-solving, customer satisfaction and working in an innovative environment. Is that you?

**WHO IS DOTACTIV?**

In order to explain who DotActiv is, it’s first important to explore the topic of category management. That’s because category management is a core part of our business and has been for the past 25 years.

The idea behind category management is straightforward: it’s the process used to manage product categories to deliver value to shoppers in a bid to increase both the sales and profit for a retailer. In short, it is the science behind how retailers decide on which products to stock as well as how to organise these products in-store so as to please their customers.

Our history dates back to 1991 when we launched as a Category Management consultancy. In 1997, we became the first company to establish a formalised and collaborative management process between a retailer and supplier when we signed Pick n Pay as a client.

That wasn’t our only first. In 2001, when we relaunched under the name of DotActiv, we became the first company to create a data-driven category management system. The fact that we have since expanded and evolved that system means today, we have more than 2000 retail professionals using our planogram software in over 110 countries.

**WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THIS JOB?**

Now that you know what you can expect from us, it’s time to unpack what you can expect from this job As a retail space planner working at dotactiv, your responsibilities will include:
