Meijer: Increasing Store Opening and Remodel Capacity by 300% Through Integrated Retail Execution

Grocery store checkout area with self-checkout kiosks, staffed lanes, and overhead aisle signs.

Challenge

A regional supercenter chain embarked on a massive store remodeling and opening initiative. ​

Working with multiple vendors created a number of challenges, including time inefficiencies and incorrect materials and specs. ​

With more than 5,000 unique signs and graphic elements per store, the time spent fixing mistakes added up.​

Solution

Switching to Imagine solved two issues for the chain: ​

  1. Working with a single vendor eliminated the inconsistencies inherent in working with multiple vendors, and ​
  2. Imagine could handle the entire in-store visual elements supply chain, including floorplan analysis, CAD design, product manufacturing, and in-field installation management. ​

Utilizing the Imagine verification technology ensured vast improvements in development, production, and installation compliance.​
