PlanoHero, a European retail technology company specializing in planogram and merchandising automation, introduces new integration capabilities that connect the platform directly with retailers’ ERP and POS systems.
The platform enables real-time synchronization of sales, inventory, and planogram data - helping retailers make faster, more informed merchandising decisions.

To generate accurate planograms and analyze shelf performance, PlanoHero relies on retailer data, including product information, inventory levels, and sales results. These data sets are transferred automatically from the retailer’s POS, ERP, or accounting systems into PlanoHero.
This integration ensures that planograms reflect actual store conditions and that performance analytics are based on real-time, verified data.

Accurate data is at the core of effective shelf management. Yet many retailers face challenges integrating merchandising software with existing systems. Complex data structures, outdated databases, and limited IT resources often lead to inconsistencies and slow onboarding.
PlanoHero solves this with flexible, secure, and transparent integration options that adapt to any retail infrastructure - ensuring clean, synchronized data across all processes.

“Retailers need a single source of truth that connects merchandising, sales, and inventory in real time,” said Antonina Filinska, CEO of PlanoHero. “With PlanoHero’s ERP and POS integrations, data flows seamlessly across systems, enabling faster decisions, better accuracy, and stronger merchandising performance.”

Flexible Integration Options for Every Retailer

PlanoHero offers two approaches to connect retail data with the platform, depending on a company’s technical capacity and resources:

• Managed Integration by PlanoHero:
  PlanoHero’s technical team handles the entire setup - from data import to synchronization - using a secure intermediate database. This option minimizes internal workload and ensures quick onboarding for retailers without in-house IT support.
• Self-Integration via the PlanoHero Connector:
  For retailers with internal IT teams, the PlanoHero Connector offers a transparent, testable integration tool. It allows data exchange between internal systems (POS, ERP, or accounting) and PlanoHero with full visibility, automation, and error tracking.

  The PlanoHero Connector: Fast, Transparent, and Reliable

The PlanoHero Connector eliminates friction in integrating merchandising systems by automating data flow between ERP/POS systems and PlanoHero.
Its key features include:

• Automated synchronization between ERP, POS, and planogram data.
• Real-time monitoring with instant issue detection and correction.
• End-to-end data mapping and validation for daily updates.
• Compatibility with most retail systems, including SAP, Oracle, MS SQL, PostgreSQL, and others.
• Comprehensive documentation and guided onboarding for IT and business teams.

With this approach, retailers gain full transparency and control over how data flows between systems, ensuring up-to-date, validated information for every merchandising decision.

  Integration That Scales with Your Retail Operations

PlanoHero’s integration framework supports any POS or accounting system that can export data in SQL, CSV, or JSON formats.
Whether managed by PlanoHero or through the Connector, the process provides:

• Faster onboarding: Automated setup shortens implementation time.
• Reduced errors: Continuous validation maintains clean, accurate data.
• Real-time visibility: Live monitoring ensures timely updates.
• Scalability: Easily adapts to new stores, categories, and data structures.

By uniting planograms, inventory, and sales data, PlanoHero delivers a connected merchandising ecosystem - one that helps retailers optimize shelves, reduce out-of-stocks, and drive sales with data-backed decisions.
