Why Spanner

Powerful. Intuitive. Great value.

Spanner is packed with everything category and space planners need, yet it stays easy to learn and easy to use. And it costs far less than you might expect.

Powerful

Planograms, fixtures, 3D and point of sale. Sales data, highlights, reports and full P&L. Product library and sales data imports. And AI that does the routine work when you ask.

Intuitive

Drag and drop, text search and keyboard shortcuts in a visual, interactive workspace, or just ask Spanner AI in plain English. Training comes in 90-minute sessions, not week-long courses.

Great value
