How Brookshire Grocery Saves Time & Streamlines Their Resets

A Smarter, Simplier Approach to Planogram Management

How does a 96-year-old grocer, operating over 200 stores across four states, keep their shelves stocked, their resets running smoothly, and their customers happy—without burning out their planogram team?

For Brookshire Grocery Company (BGC), managing thousands of planograms weekly meant time-consuming, manual tasks that limited efficiency. With the help of Cantactix's MissionControl and Planogram Generator (PG), BGC unlocked new levels of speed and accuracy in their space management processes.

The Challenge

Despite a strong foundation of people, processes, and technology, Brookshire faced a familiar problem: the scale and complexity of planogram management was outpacing manual capacity.

The Solution

Brookshire implemented Cantactix’s MissionControl and Planogram Generator to automate planogram stitching, cleanup, and validation—cutting manual work and improving accuracy.

The Results

With automation in place, Brookshire’s team can now focus on strategic category planning and optimization, rather than spending hours on manual planogram assembly and cleanup.

The Why

Brookshire needed a more efficient way to manage its growing planogram workload. With hundreds of categories and thousands of updates required, their manual processes were becoming a bottleneck. Cantactix provided the automation and expertise they needed to streamline resets and improve accuracy.

Store-Specific Complexity

With 255 unique categories and varying store sizes, planograms had to be manually adjusted for each location, leading to inconsistencies and inefficiencies.

Time-Consuming Manual Work

Planogram resets required assembling supplier planograms by hand, taking over 40 hours, plus an additional 24 hours for cleanup—slowing execution and delaying resets.

Scaling Challenges

With frequent category updates and evolving store layouts, Brookshire needed a way to automate repetitive tasks, reduce errors, and optimize planogram accuracy without adding more workload to their team.

The Process

The team needed to streamline their planogram process and reduce the manual effort required for resets. By working closely with the Cantactix team, they implemented an automated solution that drastically cut time spent on planogram assembly, validation, and cleanup.

Identifying Challenges & Goals

Although they started with a strong space management foundation, their planogram resets took over 60 hours due to manual processes. The first step was assessing their current workflow, identifying inefficiencies, and determining how automation could help.

Customizing the Solution

To address specific needs, Cantactix introduced automation tools tailored to their workflows. Features like Stitch Planograms helped piece together supplier planograms, while validation and cleanup tools reduced errors and improved accuracy

Implementation & Training

The team received hands-on training to integrate the new tools into their existing process. By optimizing their approach, they could complete resets faster and more efficiently without disrupting day-to-day operations.

Achieving Scalable Results

With automation in place, they significantly reduced reset time—saving 25+ hours per reset and cutting planogram update time by 90%. Their team now spends less time on manual tasks and more time on strategic category planning and optimization.
