Blue Yonder (JDA) Training
Planogram building, fixture and compliance setup, assortment rules, and reporting — taught on your own categories and store clusters, not a vendor demo dataset.
Blue Yonder (former JDA) Space Planning Training
Practical Blue Yonder (JDA) training for category and space planning professionals.
Whether you're new to planograms or an experienced planner, our programs focus on the commercial decisions behind effective space planning: clustering, assortment rationalisation, fixture optimisation, and actionable reporting. Learn the practical skills used by leading retailers and suppliers to create planograms that improve compliance, support category growth, and withstand scrutiny from buyers, category managers, and leadership teams.
What we train you to solve
The four problems that most often cost suppliers sales and shelf space.
- 01 SKU deletion defense — demonstrate the commercial value of a SKU and justify its place in the assortment when facing deletion proposals
- 02 Shelf placement improvement — detect when performance gaps are driven by shelf layout, enabling smarter space allocation.
- 03 Share of shelf vs share of sale — monitor performance index shifts early to protect shelf space ahead of range review decisions.
- 04 Out-of-stocks — connect reduced facings to days of supply decline and lost sales, backed by data that supports regaining shelf space.
Where we help
Built for learners at all levels — from beginners developing planogram knowledge to experienced professionals refining category and space planning expertise.
02
Space Management
Fixture planning, shelf-space allocation, and the audit workflows that keep planograms consistent across stores and clusters when the range changes.
03
Category Management Consulting
Category role definition, range review cadence, and space-to-performance analysis — for when the question is bigger than one planogram.
What this looks like in practice
Measurable outcomes from real category and space planning engagements.
Shelf placement improvement
$2.2M
estimated annual sales growth
A category was running a horizontal block on lower shelves at one retailer, against a vertical block at another. Store-level rate-of-sale analysis showed the horizontal layout was costing roughly $52 per store per week — across 831 stores, that's $2.2M a year. The retailer switched to vertical; modelled category growth came in at +25%.
SKU deletion defense
$500K
in annual value sales retained
A SKU was flagged for deletion based on its performance within one segment alone. Widening the analysis to value sales across every product on the planogram, not just that segment, showed it was outperforming several SKUs that were staying in range. The deletion was reversed.
