January 19, 2007—Advanced Visual Technology (AVT), a market leader in macro and micro space solutions, today announced it will provide The Container Store, the nation’s leading retailer of storage and organization products, with the Retail FOCUS technology to streamline store and shelf planning, design and execution.
After an extensive evaluation of the marketplace for a total space planning solution, the retailer chose AVT’s Retail FOCUS Merchandiser to support the company’s 39 stores located from coast to coast, said AVT.
As a part of that support, the company wants to more effectively manage its merchandising processes and initiatives. At the forefront will be Retail FOCUS Merchandiser, which provides an AutoCAD based photo-realistic interface for retailers to visually manage fixturing, category, planogram and product merchandising in a 3-D, walk-through environment.
Founded in 1997, AVT is a United Kingdom-based company that provides the retail industry with a unique visual space planning solution called Retail FOCUS, which unites merchandising, store planning, construction, operation and inventory management into CAD-based floor plans to produce a seamless flow of store-specific merchandising information and an accurate capture and analysis of fixture data, allocated space and adjacencies.
