IMAGINE©: From Concept to a Winning In-Store Experience
In today’s retail environment, staff shortages and fragmented networks make execution consistency a growing challenge. IMAGINE©, RDTS’s strategic merchandising program, offers a unique, proven and data-driven solution to help banners regain control of their in-store execution, without adding internal pressure or cost.
A strategic model designed for results
IMAGINE© is not a one-size-fits-all offer. It is a fully tailored merchandising program, co-built with banners, financed by supplier partners, and coordinated entirely by RDTS. It enables banners to:
- Standardize execution across all locations
- Enforce planogram and commercial agreements nationally
- Ensure 100% store coverage with dedicated merchandisers
- Improve product visibility, rotation, and stock availability
All of this, at no cost to the banner.
Concrete impact at store level
RDTS merchandisers assigned to IMAGINE© visit stores on a regular schedule. Using our Cube© digital platform, all activities are tracked live, with photos, dashboards, and performance reports tailored to each banner’s needs.
Key results include:
- Improved planogram compliance
- Fewer stockouts and missed opportunities
- Stronger visibility for private labels and promotional campaigns
- More time for store staff to focus on customer service
Enhancing the customer experience, every day
Clean shelves, well-stocked categories, consistent layouts, these details shape how customers perceive a store. IMAGINE© helps banners deliver that consistency across their entire network, improving satisfaction and loyalty.
A scalable and award-winning program
Launched in 2009 and awarded “Best Merchandising Concept” in 2017, IMAGINE© is now deployed in over 1,500 stores across Canada and Europe, including pharmacy, hardware and food retail networks.
The program is constantly evolving, informed by field data and adapted to each retailer’s strategy. Every banner is supported by a dedicated RDTS project team, and all activity is tracked in real time via Cube©.
